Abstract: Accurate evaluation of wind load effects on solar structures is important for optimizing their design. Gust wind and its dynamic effect may be significant for this type of structure, however while time-domain ...

Abstract: Transmission line structures may suffer catastrophic losses when cascading failures occur. These events are caused by dynamic loads often related to the sudden ruin of conductors or other mechanical equipment. ...

Abstract: Recently considerable research has been conducted to retrieve pertinent parameters and adequate models for automatic music genre classification using different databases. Many of previous works are derived from ...

Abstract: Current wind design procedures require that structural behavior remains elastic under wind loading corresponding to a specific return period unlike seismic codes that set some specifications to account for the ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the evaluation of the dependence of bridge-deck flutter derivatives to the extraction parameters used in wind tunnel tests. The studied parameters are the model scale, model velocity and ...

Abstract: "Wind loads govern the design of a large number of overhead transmission lines worldwide. The spatial and temporal variation of wind speed and the buffeting response of cables may induce swings not fully synchronized ...
