Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wind tunnel test equipment using wind force integration includes: a structural model whose interior is empty; an internal support disposed inside the structural model; and load sensors disposed outside the internal support and coming into close contact with the inner surfaces of the structural model to measure aerodynamic forces applied to the structural model.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Wind tunnel test equipment using wind force integration, comprising: a structural model ( 2 ) whose interior is empty; an internal support ( 3 ) disposed inside the structural model ( 2 ); and load sensors ( 4 ) disposed outside the internal support ( 3 ) and coming into close contact with the inner surfaces of the structural model ( 2 ) to directly measure aerodynamic forces applied to the structural model ( 2 ) as reaction forces. 2. The wind tunnel test equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the structural model ( 2 ) has a plurality of segments ( 21 ) formed dividedly on the external walls thereof. 3. The wind tunnel test equipment according to claim 2 , wherein the neighboring segments ( 21 ) have a sealing material ( 22 ) disposed therebetween. 4. The wind tunnel test equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the internal support ( 3 ) is a rigid core. 5. The wind tunnel test equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the internal support ( 3 ) is an equivalent dynamic model of a structural system of a structure.
