Wind Structure and Wind Loading

, 2007
The purpose of this note is to provide a short description of wind, i.e. of the flow in the atmosphere of the Earth and the loading caused by wind on structures. The description comprises:causes to the generation of windhe interaction between wind and the surface of the Earthhe stochastic nature of windhe interaction between wind and structures, where ...

Mass‐loaded Winds

The Astrophysical Journal, 1996
This paper explores the steady state behavior of mass-loaded winds. The topology of the critical point that results from the slowing of the wind is a function of the local slope of the mass-loading function. Mass-loading functions that increase sufficiently rapidly with radius as well as gravitational force can cause the steady state approximation to ...

Analytical investigation of wind loads on heliostats

Revue des Énergies Renouvelables, 2016
Applications of Heliostats for solar power tower plants increased in the recent years. Most of the solar power tower plants installed are on flat terrain and they may be subjected to wind loads.

Study on crashworthiness of offshore wind turbines under different wind loads

Jixie qiangdu
ObjectiveOffshore wind turbines are exposed to the risk of collision with vessels, where the effect of wind loads cannot be ignored. However, existing studies tend to adopt steady-state wind loads, which are inconsistent with actual conditions.MethodsBy ...

Wind power in forests: Winds and effects on loads

, 2013
I projektet V-312, Vindkraft i skog, har forskare och en doktorand vid Uppsala universitet, WeatherTech Scandinavia, Kungliga tekniska högskolan (KTH), DTU Wind Energy i Danmark och Teknikgruppen samarbetat. I projektet har det gjorts mätningar med hög vertikal upplösning av turbulensen i atmosfären, även ned mellan träden, syftande till att möjliggöra

Effect of Structural Forms on Wind-Induced Response of Tall Buildings: A Finite Element Approach

Eng
Tall buildings are vulnerable to wind loads, which can cause significant displacements that can affect their stability, strength, and serviceability. Their structural configuration can significantly influence their behavior to wind loads.

Influence of local scour on the dynamic responses of OWTs under wind-wave loads

Frontiers in Marine Science
Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) often operate in complex marine environments, where they are not only subjected to wind and wave loads, but also adversely affected by scour.
