Experimental investigation on vibration characteristics of sympodial tree
Sympodial trees are prevalent in tropical and subtropical urban areas while suffering the threat of wind storms every year, which leads to unpredictable economic losses and secondary hazards. However, the research on the dynamics of sympodial tree, which exhibits extremely complex structures, is limited. Therefore, this study conducts wind tunnel tests to systematically investigate vibration characteristics for trees with different crown configurations. Results show that as the scaled Cauchy number increases, the base overturning moment coefficient () gradually reduces, yet its reduction rate decreases. Subsequently, a higher spectral peak and narrower bandwidth of is observed with the extent of pruning severity. Finally, an energy coefficient () is developed to depict the wind energy absorption ability of trees. It is revealed that displays a declining trend with an increase in (leave area / ground area) and (leaf area / frontal area). Furthermore, it is found that trees characterized by robust and squat trunks along with dense foliage possess an enhanced capacity for wind energy dissipation.
期刊介绍:
Urban Forestry and Urban Greening is a refereed, international journal aimed at presenting high-quality research with urban and peri-urban woody and non-woody vegetation and its use, planning, design, establishment and management as its main topics. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening concentrates on all tree-dominated (as joint together in the urban forest) as well as other green resources in and around urban areas, such as woodlands, public and private urban parks and gardens, urban nature areas, street tree and square plantations, botanical gardens and cemeteries.
The journal welcomes basic and applied research papers, as well as review papers and short communications. Contributions should focus on one or more of the following aspects:
-Form and functions of urban forests and other vegetation, including aspects of urban ecology.
-Policy-making, planning and design related to urban forests and other vegetation.
-Selection and establishment of tree resources and other vegetation for urban environments.
-Management of urban forests and other vegetation.
Original contributions of a high academic standard are invited from a wide range of disciplines and fields, including forestry, biology, horticulture, arboriculture, landscape ecology, pathology, soil science, hydrology, landscape architecture, landscape planning, urban planning and design, economics, sociology, environmental psychology, public health, and education.
