Abstract
This study addresses the issues of overly simplified modeling and the neglect of fluctuating wind effects in the current finite element analysis (FEA) of wind-induced response in plastic greenhouses. By deriving the dynamic equations of motion for the greenhouse under wind loading, and simulating fluctuating wind using the Davenport wind speed spectrum for loading the finite element model, this work employs ABAQUS finite element software to establish both binding and contact models for a flat-elliptical pipe greenhouse(FEPG). Wind-induced vibration responses for both models are analyzed, leading to the following conclusions: The peak stress on the film in the contact model is 1.18 times that of the binding model, with peak displacement approximately 2.93 times greater. The peak stress in the skeleton of the contact model is 1.48 times that of the binding model, and the peak displacements in the x, y and z directions are approximately 1.25, 1.13 and 1.38 times greater, respectively. The peak stress on the film-tensioning line in the contact model is 1.24 times higher, and the peak displacements in the x, y and z directions are approximately 1.16, 1.21 and 1.51 times greater, respectively, compared to the binding model. The results highlight the importance of considering fluctuating wind and the interactions between structural components in the analysis of wind-induced response in plastic greenhouses, thereby contributing to the further refinement of the theoretical framework for the wind response of flat-elliptical pipe greenhouses.
