As the energy transition accelerates, improving wind energy efficiency and forecasting becomes increasingly critical. One key challenge lies in reconstructing high-fidelity atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow fields from sparse measurements, especially in regions influenced by ...
Steel Orthotropic Bridge Decks (OBDs) are deck plates stiffened by open or closed stiffeners. Due to the high strength/weight ratio, this type of deck plate is a popular choice for long-span and movable bridges where dead weight is important. OBDs are subjected to many traffic lo ...
An Orthotropic Steel Deck (OSD) is suspectable to fatigue and this forms an important design criterium. In this research the rib-to-crossbeam connection with a cope hole is studied using Finite Element Methods (FEM). The fatigue assessment is performed with the hot spot stress me ...
