Mechanical behavior of coniferous trees subjected to wind loading

Creator:

Moore, John R.

Abstract:

The behavior of coniferous trees subjected to wind loading was investigated through a series of experiments and also through simulation modeling. Previous studies that measured the natural oscillation frequencies and damping ratios were reviewed and equations were developed for predicting the natural frequency of a tree from the ratio of...
