Abstract: Alongwind actions on structures may produce a great number of stress cycles and lead to significant damage accumulation. A critical analysis of the pertinent methods proposed in the literature provides evidence of the ...

Abstract: Wind-induced fatigue is a crucial topic in the design of wind-sensitive structures. Despite this, methods proposed in literature are mainly addressed to research, or they are too simplified for engineering applications. ...

Abstract: The wind-excited vibrations of structures induce fluctuating stresses that lead to fatigue damage accumulation and may determine structural failure without exceeding ultimate strength. This paper proposes a mathematical ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) printing applied in architectural engineering is profoundly changing building technologies and construction processes. Indeed, the wide scope of metamaterials and components manufactured with 3D ...

Abstract: AbstractAntenna masts are highly susceptible to dynamic wind loads and the presence of ancillaries has been documented to significantly affect the forces experienced by the mast. This paper describes the data set used and ...
