Gust-Excited Vibrations

A general frame of the problem of gust-excited vibrations of structures is given. The treatment is initially developed with reference to a rigid slender cylinder of infinite length immersed in a bi-dimensional wind field. On the basis of this set up are later derived the three classic formulations of the dynamic alongwind, crosswind and torsional vibrations of flexible constructions. General guidelines are also provided about the coupled three-dimensional vibrations of structures as well as other subjects strictly related to gust buffeting and not dealt with in the present note.
