vortex-induced vibrations affect the stability
How do vortex-induced vibrations affect the stability of long bridges?
Expert
When wind flows near a bridge, it slows down when comes in contact with its surface and forms boundary layer. At some places, this boundary layer gets separated from the bridge body owing to excessive curvature. And then it leads to the formation of vortex which revises the pressure distribution over the bridge surface. The vortex made may not be symmetric around the bridge body and different lifting forces are formed around the body. And the effect is the bridge body’s motion subject to these vortexes shall be transverse when compared with the incoming wind flow. So as the frequency of vortex shedding reaches near the natural frequencies of the bridges, resonant vibrations begins, the amplitude of vibrations depend on the damping in the system and the motion of the wind relative to the bridges. Such oscillations may “lock-on” to the system and lead to hazardous amplification and fatigue failure.
Specify some of the methods required to increase the isothermal efficiency?
List applications of Centrifugal Pump?
Briefly explain the various method of Piles in construction?
Gravity flow: Gravity flow is a fluid flowing due to the forces of gravity alone and not to the applied pressure head. In Bernoulli’s equation, the pressure word is absent, and the height and velocity terms are only ones involved.
State the measures used to reduce the effects of Soil Liquefaction?
Write short note on tor steel rods.
Causes of building collapse: The Passage of time is one cause. Buildings as well collapse due to feeble foundations. Hurricanes, Earthquakes and other natural disasters can too damage the structure of the buildings and cause it to fall down. Bombings
Write about the various disposal methods used for disposing solid, liquid and gaseous waste from power plants?
