A review of static and dynamic heliostat wind loads
, 2021 Accurate estimation of the static and dynamic wind loads on heliostats based on detailed measurement and characterisation of turbulence is crucial to avoid structural failure and reduce the cost of the structural heliostat components.

Analysis of Wind-Sand-Load-Induced Dynamic Response of Transmission Tower-Line Systems
Shock and Vibration, 2022 Sandstorms are a common natural phenomenon that has the potential to cause severe disruptions to civil infrastructure. However, the effect of sandstorms on transmission tower structures has not received much attention.

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.

Wind loads on solar panels mounted on flat roofs: Effect of geometric scale
Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2020 The paper outlines a set of experimental criteria implemented to examine the influence of geometric scale on wind-induced pressures on roof-mounted solar panels tested in a simulated atmospheric boundary layer.

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.
