Abstract:This paper aims to develop an integrated measurement system on wind load experiments with automation technique support, which would solve application measurement problems of the authors’ laboratory. A measurement scheme is proposed including hardware and software systems with fully detailed specifications, to improve experiment accuracy, several kinds of sensors/balances are employed to fully measure wind load, wind speed, air temperature and humidity, etc. Data process methods are given to handle the problems of balance’s zero point drift, air density determination, model weight influence. Based on the above, an online software program is coded with consideration of automatic data process and sensors compatibility, it implements many functions on wind load experiments, in order to improve efficiency and avoid manual operations. At the end, an experiment on an offshore service vessel is conducted to verify the job of this paper, which shows agreeable result and high efficiency, corresponding analysis is also carried out to verify every factors’ influence, the results show that air density fluctuation, model weigh influence and wind speed fluctuation have remarkable effect on experiment result, while signal noise has litter effect.
