An international research team has investigated the impact of wind-induced vibrations on solar modules and has found that wind-induced stress can have significant mechanical repercussions on PV arrays ...

Galloping of iced transmission lines is a complex aerodynamic phenomenon that poses significant risks to power grid stability. This dynamic instability, characterised by large-amplitude, low-frequency ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

AMES, Iowa – The windshield wipers barely keep up. Thunder overhead. Lightning. Power conductor cables rise and fall in waves, like giant jump ropes. Up ahead, traffic signals hanging from cables also ...
