Some Structural Considerations on Ovalling of Steel Stacks Under the Wind Action

Contributions to member stresses due to overall wind-induced behaviors of thin-walled cylindrical shell

“…Wind loading effects on circular cylindrical shells were mainly investigated from two aspects: stability under wind loads, focusing on the buckling mode due to circumferential pressure (Uematsu and Uchiyama, 1985;Greiner and Derler, 1995;Pircher, 2004), and vibration characteristics and growth mechanisms of wind-excited ovalling vibration (e.g. Heki and Hawara, 1965;Johns and Sharma, 1974;Katsura, 1985;Laneville and Mazouzi, 1995).…”
