“…Elashkar and Novak (1983) reviewed similarity requirements and investigated its role in free-and wind-induced vibration. Kawamura and Kiuchi (1986), Takeda et al (1986), and Ishii (1997) carried out some model tests on the free vibration characteristics of cable-membrane structures. Daw and Davenport (1989) tested a forced fl exible semicylindrical shell model in a wind tunnel and concluded that the aerodynamic coeffi cients are dependent upon the shape of a structure and are related to amplitude.…”

The interaction between membrane structures and their environment can be either static or dynamic. Static interaction refers to interaction with static air, while dynamic interaction refers to wind and its effects. They can be evaluated by two parameters, added mass and radiation /aerodynamic damping, which are experimentally investigated in this study. The study includes the effects of both the static and dynamic interaction on structural dynamic characteristics, and the relationship between the interaction parameters and the covered area of a membrane structure for the static interaction and the relationship between the interaction parameters and wind direction and speed for the dynamic interaction. Experimental data show that the dynamic interaction is strongly correlated with the structural modes, i.e., the interaction of the symmetric modes is much larger than the anti-symmetric modes; and the infl uence of the dynamic interaction is signifi cant in wind-induced response analysis and cannot be ignored. In addition, it is concluded that the structural natural frequency is remarkably decreased by this interaction, and the frequency band is signifi cantly broadened.

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems are increasing in various engineering fields. In this thesis, different cases of FSI in two-and three-dimensions (2D and 3D) are simulated using OpenFOAM and foam-extend. These packages have been used to create a coupling between fluid and solid.The vortex-induced vibration (VIV) phenomenon of flow past a circular cylinder is studied using PIMPLE algorithm for pressure-velocity coupling. This VIV study is restricted to incompressible flow simulation at a Reynolds number (Re) of 100. The changes of drag and lift coefficient values depend on the study case and the spring-massdamper system for the flow past a free oscillatory cylinder. The free vibrating cylinder examined in one-degree-of-freedom (1DOF) and two-degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) systems with linear damping and spring properties. Both will affect the behaviour of the cylinder within the flow with some noticeable differences. The response time of the cylinder and the drag coefficient are the most affected by the spring and damper.
