Cpw. Geurts et al., CONTINUOUS WAVELET TRANSFORM OF WIND AND WIND-INDUCED PRESSURES ON A BUILDING IN SUBURBAN TERRAIN, Journal of wind engineering and industrial aerodynamics, 74-6, 1998, pp. 609-617
The wavelet transform is a promising tool for the analysis of incident
wind and wind loading on structures. The continuous wavelet transform
is applied to full-scale velocity and pressure measurements, taken at
the main building of Eindhoven University of Technology. Initial resu
lts indicate that there is a continuous interchange of energy between
the scales, both in the wind velocity and in the pressures. It is conc
luded that the small scales are typical for the occurrence of peaks in
the pressures. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
