In order to investigate the effect of tower slewing motion on tip displacement and to provide a basis for collecting tip displacement data to improve the accuracy of tower steel structure damage diagnosis, this paper adopts a tower physical structure experiment bench to select three different strokes of high, medium and low slewing speeds, and to collect tip displacement during slewing motion and static tip displacement. A characterization study of the tip displacement for slewing stroke and speed change was carried out; the structural response characteristics of the slewing motion were established and characterized by noise characterization coefficients. The experimental results show that the collected tip displacements are close to static displacements when the slewing stroke is larger, the slewing speed is slower, and the noise characterization coefficient is smaller than a set threshold. The purpose of this study is to avoid the influence of slewing motion on the real-time monitoring of structural damage, and to give a scientific basis for the setting of the data acquisition conditions for the required tower steel structure damage diagnosis.
