Hyperbolic Cooling Tower Dynamic Response to Wind

Abstract
The dynamic response of a hyperbolic cooling tower experiencing a wind loading is determined by a finite element method of analysis using a step-by-step numerical method of timewise integration. Using as the forcing function the actual recorded wind pressures neasured by transducers installed about the throat of the Martin's Creek tower, the tower's dynamic response is determined and compared to its quasistatic response.
