PhD Thesis Study of Aero-elastic Interference, VIV and Reliability IIT, Delhi

• To study the response of tall structures like power-plant chim- neys under the wind load, experimentally as well as numerically.

• Wind tunnel is used for experimental studies.

• For numerical analysis, FEM (ANSYS Mechanical APDL) is used.

• CFD (ANSYS FLUENT) is used to observe the fluid flow field.

• Fatigue life is estimated using Palmgren-Miner rule and Rain- flow counting method.

• Through stochastic FEM, the uncertainty related to the re- sponse is studied using NESSUS.

• Data obtained is analyzed using MATLAB.
