Across-wind aerodynamic damping ratios are identified from the wind-induced acceleration responses of 15 aeroelastic models of rectangular super-high-rise buildings in various simulated wind conditions by using the random decrement technique. The influences of amplitude-dependent structural damping ratio and natural frequency on the estimation of the aerodynamic damping ratio are discussed and the identifying method for aerodynamic damping is improved at first. Based on these works, effects of turbulence intensity $I_u$, aspect ratio H/B, and side ratio B/D on the across-wind aerodynamic damping ratio are investigated. The results indicate that turbulence intensity and side ratio are the most important factors that affect across-wind aerodynamic damping ratio, whereas aspect ratio indirectly affects the aerodynamic damping ratio by changing the response amplitude. Furthermore, empirical aerodynamic damping functions are proposed to estimate aerodynamic damping ratios at low and high reduced speeds for rectangular super-high-rise buildings with an aspect ratio in the range of 5 to 10, a side ratio of 1/3 to 3, and turbulence intensity varying from 1.7% to 25%.

Aerodynamic damping often plays an important role in estimations of wind induced dynamic responses of super high-rise buildings. Across- and along-wind aerodynamic damping ratios of a square super high-rise building with a height of 300 m are identified with the Random Decrement technique (RDT) from random vibration responses of the SDOF aeroelastic model in simulated wind fields. Parametric studies on effects of reduced wind velocity, terrain type and structural damping ratio on the aerodynamic damping ratios are further performed. Finally formulas of across- and along-wind aerodynamic damping ratios of the square super high-rise building are derived with curve fitting technique and accuracy of the formulas is verified.

The aerodynamic damping is an essential factor that can considerably affect the dynamic response of the cable-stayed bridge induced by crosswind load. However, developing an accurate and efficient aerodynamic damping model is crucial for evaluating the crosswind load-induced response on cable-stayed bridges. Therefore, this study proposes a new method for identifying aerodynamic damping of the bridge structures under crosswind load using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) and the particle filter (PF) algorithm. The EKF algorithm is introduced to capture the aerodynamic damping ratio. PF technique is used to select the optimal spectral representation of the noise. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed solution were investigated through full-scale vibration measurement data of the crosswind-induced on the bridge's girder. The results show that the proposed solution can generate an efficient and robust estimation. The errors between the target and extracted values are around 0.01mm and 0.003^o, respectively, for the vertical and torsional motion. The relationship between the amplitude and the aerodynamic damping ratio is linear for small reduced wind velocity and nonlinear with the increasing value of the reduced wind velocity. Finally, the results show the influence of the level of noise.

To model the aeroelasticity in vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of slender tubular towers, this paper presents an approach where the aerodynamic damping distribution along the height of the structure is calculated not only as a function of the normalized lateral oscillation but also considering the local incoming wind velocity ratio to the critical velocity (velocity ratio). The three-dimensionality of aerodynamic damping depending on the tower's displacement and the velocity ratio has been observed in recent studies. A contour map model of aerodynamic damping is generated based on the forced vibration tests. A sectional calculation procedure based on the spectral method is developed by defining the aerodynamic damping locally at each increment of height. The proposed contour map model of aerodynamic damping and the sectional calculation procedure are validated with full-scale measurement data sets of a rotorless wind turbine tower, where good agreement between the prediction and measured values is obtained. The prediction of cross-wind response of the wind turbine tower is performed over a range of wind speeds which allows the estimation of resulting fatigue damage. The proposed model gives more realistic prediction in comparison to the approach included in current standards.

For simulation of a wing unfolding motion for the various aerodynamic conditions, equation governing unfolding motion and moments applying to the unfolding wing were modelled. Aerodynamic roll moment consists of the static roll moment and the damping moment, which were obtained through wind tunnel tests and numerical analyses respectively. Panel method was used to compute the roll damping coefficient with twisted wing, whose deflection angle was equivalent to angle of attack due to the deployment motion. Roll damping coefficient is a function of angle of attack, sideslip angle, and deployment angle but not of angular velocity of deployment. Simulation with aerodynamic damping model gave more similar deployment time compared to wing deployment test results.

접힌 공력면이 전개하는 운동을 모사하기 위하여 전개 운동 방정식을 수립하고 공력면에 작용하는 모멘트 등을 모델링하였다. 공력에 의한 롤 모멘트는 정적 롤 모멘트와 감쇠 모멘트로 이루어져 있으며 정적 롤 모멘트는 전개 하중 측정을 위한 풍동 시험을 통하여 획득한 정적 롤 모멘트 계수로부터 계산된다. 롤 감쇠 계수는 패널법을 이용한 수치 해석을 통하여 산출되었는데 전개 각속도로부터 유발된 받음각에 상응하는 변위각을 공력면에 적용하여 수치해석을 하였다. 공력면 형상에 적용한 변위각은 회전 중심으로부터 공력면 끝단까지 선형적으로 증가하며 회전 중심에서는 변위가 없다. 롤 감쇠 계수는 전개 각속도에 따른 롤 모멘트 계수의 변화율로 계산되며 공력조건과 전개각의 함수이고 전개 각속도에 대해서는 일정하다고 가정하였다. 롤 감쇠를 포함하여 모사된 공력면의 전개 모사는 시험과 비교하여 유사한 결과를 보여주었다.

The paper presents a generalization of existing analytical approaches to determine the across-wind aerodynamic damping of tall structures through the quasi-steady theory. The theory takes into account the nature of non-uniform wind, structural mode shapes and the variation of structural parameters. Numerical applications on a prototype high-rise building and a real sculptural tower point out that the common approach may be over simplified, giving rise to inappropriate predictions of the aerodynamic damping. The role of the structural mode shapes, usually being neglected for uniform structures, is then highlighted.

감쇠비는 현수교에 있어서 교량진동을 평가하기 위한 중요한 동적 요소 중 하나이다. 하지만, 실재 현수교에서 계측된 상시 진동신호로부터 감쇠비를 직접적으로 추정하는 것은 현실적으로 매우 어려운 일이다. 뿐만 아니라, 한정된 계측자료를 이용하여 추정된 감쇠비로부터 공기역학적 감쇠와 마찰 감쇠를 구분하는 것은 더욱 어렵다. Macdonald는 2005년 발표한 자료에서 공기역학적 감쇠성능은 풍속에 따라 선형적으로 증가한다고 하였으며, Park등은 감쇠성능은 진동의 크기에 따라 변화할 수 있다고 하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 감쇠비, 풍속, 진동의 크기 사이의 관계를 연구하여, 추정 감쇠비로부터 공기역학적 감쇠와 마찰 감쇠를 구분하고자 하였다. 본 논문에서 감쇠비 추정대상으로는 전라남도 고흥에 위치한 소록대교를 선택하였으며, 감쇠비 추정에는 Hilbert 변환법을 이용한 방법과 확장형 칼만필터를 이용하였다. 또한 두 방법으로 추정된 감쇠비들을 상호 비교를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 상시진동 자료와 차량재하실험으로부터 얻어진 자료를 이용하여 추정된 감쇠비와 풍속, 그리고 가속도의 크기를 이용하여 추정 감쇠비로부터 공기역학적 감쇠 성능과 마찰 감쇠 성능의 구분이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The present paper is focused on the prediction of the acrosswind aeroelastic response of square tall buildings. In particular, a semi-analytical procedure is proposed based on the assumption that square tall buildings, for reduced velocities corresponding to operational conditions, do not experience vortex shedding resonance or galloping and fall in the range of positive aerodynamic damping. Under these conditions, aeroelastic wind tunnel tests can be unnecessary and the response can be correctly evaluated using wind tunnel tests on rigid models and analytical modeling of the aerodynamic damping. The proposed procedure consists of two phases. First, simultaneous measurements of the pressure time histories are carried out in the wind tunnel on rigid models, in order to obtain the aerodynamic forces. Then, aeroelastic forces are analytically evaluated and the structural response is computed through direct integration of the equations of motion considering the contribution of both the aerodynamic and aeroelastic forces. The procedure, which gives a conservative estimate of the aeroelastic response, has the advantage that aeroelastic tests are avoided, at least in the preliminary design phase.
