Wind Effects on Structures: Fundamentals and Applications to Design. Venture effect (channeling); wind breaks . Four tracks of specialization: the EWEM is divided in four tracks (specializations), along the energy conversion chain: Wind Physics, Rotor Design, Electric Power Systems and Offshore Engineering, transversally connected by its application to Wind Specialization (49-61 ECTS): this block includes compulsive (core) and elective courses, both on the specialization (applied and fundamental) and general competences, such as scientific writing, research methodologies and languages. A collaborative research team led by the University of Bristol has been awarded a £4.2 million grant to create new nonlinear dynamic design tools for engineering structures. Today this kind of design, at a fundamental level of form giving and structure mapping, has all but been forgotten by the mainstream. In many cases, such as wind or wave power generation, medical robotics, aerospace and large civil structures, nonlinear dynamic effects have a big influence on the operational performance. Wind Effects on Structures Fundamentals and Applications to Design. Wind in Architectural and Environmental Design. In general, buildings usually designed to withstand probable combinations of climatic extremes and to make indoor conditions comfortable and healthful regardless of weather conditions outside.
