What Level of Typhoon Can a Sedan Withstand?

[VanSpencer]

A sedan can withstand typhoons of level 12-14. Typhoon: A typhoon, also known as a tropical cyclone, is a low-pressure vortex occurring over tropical or subtropical oceans, representing a powerful and deep "tropical weather system." In China, tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and the northwestern Pacific are classified into six levels based on the maximum average wind force (wind speed) near the bottom center. Those with wind forces reaching level 12 or higher near the center are collectively referred to as typhoons. Wind Resistance Performance Testing: This involves applying uniform wind loads to test specimens under laboratory-simulated wind conditions, evaluating the specimen's deformation and overall connection stability during the test. It generally includes two methods: static wind load testing and dynamic wind load testing. Multiple cyclic loading on the system can better simulate actual wind conditions. Wind resistance performance testing should be based on dynamic wind load testing, followed by static wind load testing only after no damage occurs during dynamic testing. This approach better verifies the system's normal wind resistance performance and improves reliability.
