PEISO-MIRANDA, Karel; GONZALEZ-CARBONELL, Raide A; NAPOLES-PADRON, Elsa y MORALES-PEREZ, Heiki. Simulation of louvers´ blades under the effect of hurricane wind. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.1, pp. 14-21. ISSN 1815-5944.
Louvers allow the air intake, illumination and avoid the penetration of rain water and sun light. The objective of this paper was to determinate the mechanical strength of the louvers´ blades under the effect of hurricane wind. The Finite Element Method was used. Three different cross sections with 1500 mm of length and sheet thicknesses from 0,6 to 2,0 mm were analyzed. As results were obtained that the variants A, B and C resisted the conditions imposed to models without exceed the yield stress when 2,0, 1,2 and 1,0 mm of thickness were used respectively. The louver with the highest standardized height resisted the load conditions.
