Thread Content
Installing shock absorbers at the top of the tower is used to reduce horizontal wind vibrations; can shock absorbers also reduce the deflection at the top of the tower? And on what data are shock absorbers designed?
What is a shock absorber? Can it be shown in a picture? Let’s learn it
Shock absorbers cannot reduce the deflection at the top of the tower. The solutions to reduce this are to increase the tower wall thickness, the weight of the skirt, and the fixation at the tower base.
Installing shock absorbers at the top of the tower can eliminate or reduce the Karman vortex street phenomenon
