Wind Tunnel Measurements of Aeroelastic Guyed Mast Models

Abstract

The dynamic response of guyed masts models to the wind action in the wind tunnel was analyzed in the paper. Accelerations and forces in guys were measured. Spectra of the response were calculated. The influence of the wind structure on the response was analyzed. The results obtained from experiments were compared to the ones coming from a numerical analysis.
