Wind loads and responses are the key factors for their structural design. This paper introduces some important achievements of wind-resistant studies of the author's research team on long-span bridges. First, new concepts and identification methods of aerodynamic derivatives and aerodynamic admittances were proposed. Then mechanical and aerodynamic control strategies and methods of wind-induced vibrations of long-span bridges were the great concerned problems, and valuable achievements were presented. Especially, great efforts which have been theoretically and experimentally made on rain-wind induced vibration of cables of cable-stayed bridges were described. Finally, some new progresses in computation wind engineering were introduced, and a new method for simulating an equilibrium boundary layer was put forward as well.展开更多

Wind turbine tower vibration will cause superfluous mechanical loads. To resolve the vibration issue, a method for constructng the energy function V is proposed to meet the demands of safe operation. The Lyapunov theorem has been em- bedded in a wind turbine control algorithm, proving the theoretical feasibility of stability control based on function V. Accord- ing to an analysis of this complex nonlinear model for the wind turbine, the general method of constructing an energy function suitable for a wind turbine is presented explicitly. The feasibility of applying an energy function to wind turbine vibration con- trol is verified experimentally using a 3.0-MW direct drive wind turbine model. The experimental results indicate that the dy- namic performance of the tested wind turbine model with energy function control is significantly better than that of the uncon- trolled structure in terms of the reduction of nacelle acceleration, velocity, and displacement response.展开更多
