Dynamic Analysis of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines under Thunderstorm Downbursts
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Wind turbines are among the fastest-growing technologies for producing sustainable energy. Although numerous studies have been carried out to investigate the dynamic behavior of wind turbines exposed to synoptic winds, the ...
Ultimate State of Thin-Walled Circular Steel Columns Subjected to Biaxial Horizontal Forces and Biaxial Bending Moments Caused by Bidirectional Seismic Accelerations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To check the safety of thin-walled circular steel columns used for bridge piers of elevated-girder bridges, a versatile interaction equation is derived to specify the ultimate state of the columns under the coupling of ...
Field Testing of Wind Turbine Towers with Contact and Noncontact Vibration Measurement Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Wind turbine tower vibration parameters are critical for design and maintenance of wind farms. In this paper, measurement campaigns of two in-service 65-m tall wind turbine towers are investigated. Different field vibration ...
