Abstract Purpose The assessment of the economic feasibility floating offshore wind farms (FOWFs) plays an important role in future possible spreading this challenging technology power industry. use specific analyses is fundamental to point out potential FOWFs and sustain their technical value. Within topic, implementation FOWF life cycle cost model producibility analysis a geographic information system developed, with aim carrying at territorial scale, for different types floater. Moreover,...
In 1999 and 2000, the two vibration incidents at Paris Passerelle Solferino Bridge London Millennium triggered a major revision of existing knowledge concerning footbridge response to pedestrian-induced actions. last 15 years, an incredibly large amount research has emerged on topic. Although researchers have provided many valuable scientific contributions regarding understanding modeling vibrations footbridges, there is still need determine what real improvements been achieved in design...
In the last several years many cases of large amplitude horizontal vibrations footbridges have been observed, due to dynamic interaction between walkers and footbridge, which may occur when some conditions on bridge mass, frequency damping, as well crowd density are met. Such is an intriguing phenomenon, it associated with dynamics a complex system made structure number walkers, latter being governed by physiology psychology. Provided this complexity, in paper preliminary step toward...
New trends in the architectural design of footbridges feature an unprecedented slenderness, especially when these are located urban environment. For this reason, static analyses and a towards ultimate limit state have proven inadequate many circumstances, main objective structural is becoming that assessing serviceability through dynamic analyses. On other hand, key issue availability reliable models for structure loads, particular case pedestrian action lack commonly accepted walking,...
The response of a linear SDOF system subjected to harmonic excitation which Tuned Vibration Absorber with stiffness and dry friction damping is attached considered. Based on an intuitive examination the physical behaviour system, closed-form expressions for TMD optimum parameters steady-state amplitudes vibration are presented. Two examples allow comparison between predicted that found by numerically integrating equations motion. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A dynamic system with memory is a for which knowledge of the equations motion, together state at given time instant t0 insufficient to predict evolution instants t>t0. To calculate response systems starting from an initial t0, complete history t<t0 needed. This because vector does not contain all information necessary fully characterize system, i.e., complete. In this paper, space formulation viscoelastic proposed, overcomes concept by enlarging number internal variables that bear about...
The causal and physically realizable Biot hysteretic model proves to be the simplest linear able describe nearly rate-independent behaviour of engineering materials. In this paper, performance is analysed compared with those ideal models. Laguerre polynomial approximation (LPA) method, recently proposed for time-domain analysis viscoelastic systems, then summarized applied prediction dynamic response systems deterministic random excitations. parameters LPA generally need computed through...
Based on wind tunnel tests, this paper investigates the aerodynamic behavior of a large span canopy roof with elliptical plan and hyperbolic paraboloid shape. The statistics pressure coefficients peak factor distributions are calculated for top bottom faces roof, Gaussian or non-Gaussian characteristics time-histories in different areas discussed. cross-correlation pressures at positions between is also investigated. Combination factors evaluated to take into account extreme values net...
