Comparison of wind turbine tower failure modes under seismic and wind loads [PDF]
Journal of performance of constructed facilities, 2019 This paper studies the structural responses and failure modes of a 1.5-MW horizontal-axis wind turbine under strong ground motions and wind loading. Ground motions were selected and scaled to match the two design response spectra given by the seismic ...

Wind Loads on a Solar Panel at High Tilt Angles
Applied Sciences, 2019 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.

Wind loads and competition for light sculpt trees into self-similar structures. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 Trees are self-similar structures: their branch lengths and diameters vary allometrically within the tree architecture, with longer and thicker branches near the ground.

Uncertainty Quantification and Simulation of Wind-Tunnel-Informed Stochastic Wind Loads
Wind, 2023 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 ...

Aeroelastic load analysis of a co‐rotating quad‐rotor wind turbine
Wind Energy, 2022 An aeroelastic analysis is carried out to assess the loads on a selected quad‐rotor wind turbine vis‐à‐vis those on an equivalent rated single‐rotor turbine, with a specific focus on a comparison of support structure loads (e.g., tower root, yaw‐bearing,

The Interference Effects of Wind Load and Wind-Induced Dynamic Response of Quayside Container Cranes
Applied Sciences, 2022 Strong wind has caused damage to group-arranged quayside container cranes in terminals and ports in recent years. Interference may amplify the wind loads in some cases. However, the interference effect among cranes has rarely been studied. In this study,

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of wind and wake characteristics on wind turbine loads in a small wind farm [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2023 Wind turbines are designed using a set of simulations to determine the fatigue and ultimate loads, which are typically focused solely on unwaked wind turbine operation. These structural loads can be significantly influenced by the wind inflow conditions.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Tornado and straight-line wind events are often discussed and compared in terms of their intensity, e.g., maximum wind speed, however, it is unclear to what extent tornado-induced and straight-line wind-induced wind loads are equivalent even for the same

A Data-Driven Model for Aerodynamic Loads on Road Vehicles Exposed to Gusty Bora-Like Winds
Applied Sciences, 2022 Strong cross-wind gusts can cause the vehicle to overturn or slide off the road. This problem is particularly experienced on bridges, as vehicles are extremely sensitive to complex wind-bridge–vehicle interactions.
