Design Methods for Window Stopper Component Strength Cushions Operating under Wind Gusts

Abstract:

An evaluation of the impact forces imparted due to wind flow onto and across walls is necessary to improve the safety of stopper components in swing-type windows. A strong wind test was performed to measure the impact force imparted by wind, and the characteristics of the wind energy and resulting impact force were clarified. An impact force evaluation method based on a simple mechanical model was proposed. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the deformation of a plastic stopper component due to an impact force could be modeled via an empirical linear formula, derived experimentally using the impact force imparted in a drop weight load test. The proposed evaluation method is considered to be useful for the safety design of swing-type windows.
