Monte-meuble, l’ultime déménagement
by Jean-Pierre Aubry, La Machine, La Boîte à Calcul
As part of the cultural event Le voyage à Nantes, this work of Argentine artist Leandro Erlich has been installed in Nantes during the summer 2012. A fragment of a building facade is supported by a furniture-lift.
The total height is 14m. The whole structure is dimensioned with Code_Aster for the various load cases specified by the Eurocode in linear and nonlinear statics.

In modal analysis, the first two eigen frequencies, about 1.3 Hz, are low enough to fear a divergent behavior in vortex shedding or unstability at quite low wind speed. One therefore prepared dynamic dampers that increase the damping from 0.6% to about 2% (percent of critical damping).
Design and adjustment of the damping was done in parallel with measures in collaboration with CSTB.
The first 3 frequencies are measured about 10% from the Code_Aster calculation.
