Dynamic response analysis of a whole steel frame solar greenhouse under wind loads [PDF]
In recent years, whole steel frame steel greenhouses have become increasingly prevalent. With the characteristics of large flexibility and small mass, whole steel frame steel greenhouses are sensitive to wind loads.

Wind loads and competition for light sculpt trees into self-similar structures. [PDF]
Trees are self-similar structures: their branch lengths and diameters vary allometrically within the tree architecture, with longer and thicker branches near the ground.

Wind Loads on a Solar Panel at High Tilt Angles
A solar photovoltaic system consists of tilted panels and is prone to extreme wind loads during hurricanes or typhoons. To ensure the proper functioning of the system, it is important to determine its aerodynamic characteristics.

AGN Jet Mass Loading and Truncation by Stellar Winds [PDF]
Active Galactic Nuclei can produce extremely powerful jets. While tightly collimated, the scale of these jets and the stellar density at galactic centers implies that there will be many jet/star interactions, which can mass-load the jet through stellar winds.

The Structure of Magnetocentrifugal Winds I. Steady Mass Loading [PDF]
We present the results of a series of time-dependent numerical simulations of cold, magnetocentrifugally launched winds from accretion disks. Our simulations span four and half decades of mass loading; in the context of a disk with a launching region from $0.1\AU$ to $1.0\AU$ around a $1\solarmass$ star and a field strength of about $20\gauss$ at the ...

Dynamic response and vibration suitability analysis of the large-span double-connected structure under coupled wind and pedestrian loads [PDF]
Modern buildings increasingly utilize lightweight, high-strength materials and feature high-rise, large-span structural designs. These structures often exhibit low natural frequencies and are susceptible to resonance from low-frequency dynamic loads such

Structural analysis due to wind speed as static loads on building [PDF]
The effect of wind as a dynamic load on structures can vary greatly depending on geographic location, topography, building height, and the characteristics of the building itself.

Identification of Wind Loads on Structures Based on Modal Kalman Filter with Unknown Inputs
Wind loads on structures are difficult to directly measure, so it is practical to identify structural wind loads based on the measurements of structural responses.

Uncertainty Quantification and Simulation of Wind-Tunnel-Informed Stochastic Wind Loads
The simulation of stochastic wind loads is necessary for many applications in wind engineering. The proper-orthogonal-decomposition-(POD)-based spectral representation method is a popular approach used for this purpose, due to its computational ...

Overall and Local Wind Loads on Post-Installed Elevator Shaft of Existing Buildings
The glass curtain walls of post-installed elevator shafts in existing buildings can be damaged by local wind loads, and the serviceability of an elevator may be affected by excessive overall wind loads, especially in hurricane-prone areas.
