ABSTRACT The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) design standard (IEC 61400-3) for offshore wind turbines includes a design load case which considers loads on the turbine during extreme ...

Realistic conceptual design loads in the early phase of the overall aircraft design for the mass estimation of fuselage and wing play an important role in the overall aircraft assessment for new ...

The Load Analysis and Aeroelastic Design department deals with issues that arise in the design of aircraft with regard to aeroelastic properties and aeroelastic requirements. Furthermore, developments ...

Several significant updates have been added to the new edition of Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, Standards ASCE/SEI 7-16. The recently released ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

Driving capacitive loads at speed is difficult. The fundamental reason for this is that the current charging due to the voltage change is limited only by the equivalent series resistance (ESR), which ...

Load-board design is a critical part of any project that uses ATE to test integrated circuits. Load boards provide the interface between the ATE and the device under test (DUT). A properly designed ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...
