It is common to dissociate load computation from structural analysis when carrying out a numerical assessment of a wind turbine blade. Loads are usually computed using a multiphysics and multibody ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

Cooling towers play a vital role in industrial processes and power generation by dissipating waste heat into the atmosphere. Their unique hyperbolic geometries are designed not only to maximise heat ...

The American Society of Civil Engineers has decided that emergency changes to wind-load provisions in ASCE's 2010 building design standard are not needed. ASCE recently reviewed the provisions, ...

Within electricity grid networks it is conventional for large-scale central generators to both provide power and control grid node voltage. Therefore when wind turbines replace conventional power ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported on Sept. 17 that it has done additional analysis of the wind "loads" that the World Trade Center (WTC) towers were originally ...
