Due to the continuous urban development, it becomes necessary to investigate the complex
aerodynamic interactions within the built environment. These interactions lead to a …

This paper analyzes the fatigue collapse of two slender structures due to wind-induced
vibrations. The analysis is based on a complete procedure for the wind-induced fatigue …

Exploiting wind energy in complex sites like mountain terrains implies the necessity for
remote structural health monitoring of the wind towers. In fact, such slender vertical …

Pinnacles on top of tall buildings are vulnerable to vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs). These
structures may undergo large-amplitude vibrations that can lead to fatigue damage …

This study addresses crosswind fatigue analysis of wind-excited flexible structures at the
vicinity of vortex lock-in speed where the nonlinear aerodynamic damping effect is …

The collapse of a typical lightning rod on a 500-kV high-voltage substation frame in central
China is investigated to identify the mechanism of fracture. Comprehensive analyses are …

The wind-excited vibrations of structures induce fluctuating stresses that lead to fatigue
damage accumulation and may determine structural failure without exceeding ultimate …

The main causes of induced fatigue in the cables and hangers of suspension bridges are
wind-and traffic-induced vibrations. Because of the high flexibility and reduced weight (in …

This paper presents analytical and experimental investigations aimed at evaluating the
aeroelastic instability and wind-excited response of slender vertical cantilever structures, in …

This paper deals with the fatigue analysis of slender structures subjected to the wind action.
A 50-year conditioned Monte Carlo simulation of the bending moment at the base of a steel …
