Aeroelastic Response of Suspended Pedestrian Bridges Made of Laminated Wood and Hemp by Fabio Rizzo

“…The critical flutter speeds of two sets of 25 different structural configurations, obtained by varying the deck chord and the permanent deck loads, made of steel and of laminated wood respectively, were estimated using experimental flutter derivatives obtained from 30 wind tunnel experiments. One of the most significant results was that pedestrian bridges made of laminated wood and hemp have a higher torsional frequency than those made of steel and that this affects critical flutter speed. …”

Aerodynamic Analysis of Autonomous Battery Electric Truck Concepts for Drag Reduction by Kameel Anirood, Ali Rugbani

“…The simulation accuracy is validated against empirical results for the aerodynamic drag on the generic conventional model (GCM) truck, as tested in a wind tunnel. It was found that the overall aerodynamic drag of the vehicle could be reduced by approximately 35.5% without reducing the truck’s trailer loading volume. …”
