Temperature Distribution in a Long-Span Aircraft Hangar

Long-span aircraft hangars have features which differ from other large structural systems. The temperature stresses due to temperature variations often greatly impact the mechanical performance of the structure. The paper presents an analysis of the heat transfer processes and factors which influence the temperature distribution. The AMECO-A380 aircraft hangar at the Beijing Capital International Airport was selected as a practical example to illustrate the use of finite volume analysis to calculate the temperature field taking into account meteorological conditions, solar radiation, heat convection, etc. The temperature distribution and the variation of the length of the upper and lower chords of the grid structure roof were analyzed to develop guidelines for the temperature distributions in very large aircraft hangars. The results show that the temperature effect will be large for long-span hangars, and the temperature stresses due to nonuniform temperatures should be analyzed to guarantee the structural safety of large aircraft hangars.     

大型机库屋面风荷载特性研究

通过风洞模拟实验对某大型机库平面屋顶风荷载进行了研究。结果表明,在一定风向角下屋面出现的单个或一对锥形涡流动结构诱导的局部极大负压峰值是导致屋面破坏的主要原因,女儿墙能稍微减小屋面的风压分布。分析了由于锥形涡引起的屋面平均风压和瞬时脉动风压的特点及其相互关系,讨论了实验获得的脉动压力和按规范计算的差别和原因。
