As offshore wind rises to meet ambitious climate goals, balancing the need for infrastructure with maintaining biodiversity has become a pressing challenge. One innovative, recent example is the ...

Some support structures for offshore wind turbines could fall short of required fatigue life expectations, according to a new report from classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR). As the ...

Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) installed in cold regions are prone to risking ice collisions, leading to potential damage of the support structure. It is imperative to quantitatively investigate the ...

Researchers have introduced a more efficient approach to designing wind-resistant high-rise buildings by combining particle swarm optimization (PSO) with an enhanced penalty function to dynamically ...

I have a number of wind load series. The wind load consist of the aerodynamic lift, drag, and torque on each mass point of blade and tower. The wind load varied with time, and the wind load series are ...

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will review fatigue loading from hurricane and high-wind events and their impact on solar trackers Single-axis solar trackers need to be designed with extreme weather ...

The French engineering and design company Optimax Structures, renowned for its expertise in structural design and optimisation of steel and wooden structures, announces its expansion into the German ...

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 ...
