Computational Simulations of Wind Loads of Super Tall Buildings in Hilly Terrain

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The wind loads could be increased by the complex hilly terrain. In order to consider this threat, computational simulations about wind pressures in buildings in hilly terrain and surrounding buildings were finished.

A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

Dynamic Equivalence of Wind Farms Considering Complex Terrain

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
The dynamic equivalence of wind farms is widely used for model simplification. While, the accuracy will be lower without considering the influence of wind speed correlation caused by topography and wake effect.
