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 ...

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 ...

On Tuesday afternoon, forecasters at the National Weather Service dropped their most severe warnings for the rest of the day. But the alerts will be back in place early Wednesday. By Judson Jones and ...

An extreme fire risk warning was issued from Malibu to Burbank. A damaging Santa Ana wind event was peaking early Wednesday and winds were expected to stay strong through early afternoon in Southern ...

EPA, or Effective Projected Area, measures the size of the cross-sectional area of a fixture and its components as seen by the wind. This determines the overall strength of a fixture and the amount of ...

AMHERST, N.Y. — We have seen how wild weather can cause major damage across our area. The University at Buffalo will continue to study how high winds can affect buildings thanks to a new government ...

A group of researchers from South Africa has conducted a full-scale field measurement of the wind load effects on the mounting rail of a PV single-axis tracker. The data was collected over 109 days in ...
