Abstract

Quasiperiodic galloping of a wind-excited tower under unsteady wind is investigated analytically near secondary (sub/superharmonic) resonances of order 2 considering a single degree-of-freedom model. The case where the unsteady wind develops multiharmonic excitations consisting of the two first harmonic terms is examined. We perform two successive multiple scale methods to obtain analytical expressions of a quasiperiodic solution and its modulation envelope near the secondary resonances. The influence of unsteady wind on the quasiperiodic galloping and on the frequency of its modulation is examined for different cases of wind excitation. The results show that the quasiperiodic galloping onset and its modulation envelope can be influenced, depending on the activated resonance and the harmonic component induced by the unsteady wind. It is also shown that the frequency of the quasiperiodic galloping is higher near the 2-superharmonic resonance in all cases of wind excitation.
