Kimura Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A wind engineering lab that studies vibrations of structures caused by wind and other factors.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying structural vibration to aim for rational design
The Kimura Lab studies vibrations that occur in structures such as bridges, especially vibrations caused by wind.
Structures can be damaged by vibrations caused by earthquakes, wind, vehicles, and other sources.
The mechanisms of wind-induced vibrations are not yet well understood.
Besides bridges, the lab also targets large wind turbines, power transmission lines, and vibrations not caused by wind, aiming to make it possible to design structures more rationally.
Key terms
- Onset wind speed
- The wind speed at which wind-induced vibration begins to appear in a structure. It can differ greatly with only a slight change in outer shape
- Amplitude
- The extent to which a structure sways in vibration. In wind-induced vibrations, it varies greatly depending on outer shape
ResearchResearch themes
Structures such as bridges can be damaged by vibrations caused by earthquakes, wind, and vehicles. This lab investigates in particular the characteristics of wind-induced vibrations, aiming to make it possible to design structures more rationally.
