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 ...

Inquisitive Surfline user “Barry” writes: “Ok so I’ve been looking at the details and I’ve already got stumped. As I understand it, wind starts from air moving from high pressure areas to low pressure ...

The American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 650, Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage, provides design rules for petroleum storage tanks. These rules are intended to provide reasonable margins ...

Drag-based wind energy design. Aiming to translate its expertise in manufacturing monocoque, ribbed components with thermoplastic microspheres, Xenecore is working to develop a fan-shaped, drag-based ...

Researchers have investigated the aerodynamic performance of a single floating PV setup of 16 panels, as well as an array that combined 15 such setups. They found that drag coefficient distributions ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The system for categorizing hurricanes accounts only for peak wind speeds, but research published in Nature Communications explains why central pressure deficit is a better ...
