Abstract
A large-amplitude vertical-torsional coupled free vibration testing device for wind tunnel test. The large-amplitude vertical-torsional coupled free vibration device for wind tunnel test includes rigid deck model, lightweight rigid rods, lightweight rigid circular aluminium hubs, the first thin strings, linear tensile vertical springs, and the second lightweight strings. Large-amplitude vertical-torsional coupled free vibrations of rigid deck models can be realized by using this device, in which the springs vertically deform without any tilt. In the traditional free vibration device, the spring may obviously tilt, and the linear torsional stiffness cannot be ensured. The device can be conveniently installed and the initial angle of attack can be easily adjusted. The extreme low and stable mechanical damping ratio required for large-amplitude vibrations can be readily guaranteed, owing to the invocation of the negligible rolling friction between the thin strings and the hub.
