Firstly, synchronous pressure measurement on the billboard of a rigid model in wind tunnel is carried out.
This is in contrast to a rigid model, which would align the two models by simple rotation and magnification, requiring that they are identical on MR and TRUS.
For centuries, our post-secondary institutions have relied on a rigid broadcast model of one-way teaching.
Raj et al. (2013) carried out an experimental boundary layer wind tunnel study to observe the effect of base shear, base moment and twisting moment developed due to wind load on a rigid building model having the same floor area, but different cross-sectional shapes with the variation of wind incidence angle.
Wind tunnel tests were performed on a 1 100 scale rigid model to provide the surface pressure data essential for the procedure proposed in this paper.
In this study, a professional finite element program for analysis and design of tube hydroforming processes has been developed, called HydroFORM-3D, which is based on a rigid-plastic model.
This review describes a buffeting prediction technique based on rigid model pressure measurements that is commonly used in North America, and also the buffet excitation parameter technique favored by many researchers in the UK.
Numerical simulations using a beam element model with a modified Morison wave load model and second order wave kinematics gave reasonable prediction of the ringing response of the flexible model, and of the measured excitation forces on the rigid model in the absence of slamming.
This paper describes an experiment that was carried out in the Twisted Flow Wind Tunnel at The University of Auckland to measure a detailed set of pressure distributions on a rigid 1/15th scale model of a modern asymmetric spinnaker.
Probabilistic calculations of the structural response are carried out in frequency and time domains, and the parameters of the wind velocity field are calibrated on the basis of the time-histories of the global floor forces derived by experimental tests on a rigid 1 500 scale model of the building.
