A wide range of engineering applications require simulation and
estimation of loads and excitations that are random in nature as
they are often associated with hazards such as earthquakes, winds,
waves, etc.
In the first module, the course will introduce the audience (doctoral
students) to the discipline of wind science and engineering. The
lecture will provide students and practitioners with broad instruction
that enables the solution of problems related to the effects of
windstorms on the built environment. At the same time, the audience
will be given some information on wind’s beneficial effects
(wind power). This module will also partially examine modeling of
wind fields and atmospheric turbulence.
In the second module, the course will review theory and methods for
random data (and vibration) analysis and probability for scientists
and engineers; furthermore, the module will discuss aerodynamic
loads, analysis methods applicable to structural systems under random
wind loads. Examples will be primarily related to the field of
wind engineering and structural analysis using wind loads.
In the last module, the course will introduce the audience to the
field of fluid-structure interactions. Various design applications will
be considered.
