The Interference Effects of Wind Load and Wind-Induced Dynamic Response of Quayside Container Cranes
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 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.

A Data-Driven Model for Aerodynamic Loads on Road Vehicles Exposed to Gusty Bora-Like Winds
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.

Experimental validation of parked loads for a floating vertical axis wind turbine: wind–wave basin tests [PDF]
Parked loads are a major design load case for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) because of persistent high loads on the rotor when in standstill conditions.

Wind Turbine Gust Load Alleviation with Active Flow Control
Large wind turbine rotors are becoming more common in utility-scale wind power, especially for offshore wind plants. However, the trend toward large rotors can be limited by their ability to manage dynamic and extreme loads.
