How can wind stiffness be calculated for a MDOF model using wind speed data?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate wind stiffness for a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) model using wind speed data, it is essential to understand that the drag force on an object is typically proportional to the square of the wind speed. The shape of the object significantly influences the drag coefficient, which must be considered in the calculations. Additionally, the behavior of airflow around the object can vary between laminar and turbulent flow, complicating the analysis. Equations for wind stiffness can be derived from fluid dynamics principles, incorporating these factors. Accurate modeling requires careful consideration of both the wind speed data and the object's geometry.

Hey guys

I am looking for the solution to replace the spring in MDOF model with wind stiffness or air stiffness if to build a MDOF model of wind.

What I have now is only a wind speed data matrix.

Anyone can provide some equations of calculating wind stiffness and some clues maybe.

Thanks a lot.

The drag on an object is generally taken to be proportional to the square of the wind speed. But the shape of the object greatly affects the coefficient, and more complex behaviour occurs at the boundary between laminar and turbulent flow.
