TL;DR: In this article , the impact of ground-borne vibration and noise generated from the wheel-rail contact and its propagation through the transmission path is presented, and the impact and the different ways of evaluating and assessing these effects are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of a wind turbine and support structure subject to simulated hurricane wind fields is presented, with a focus on blade root loads and tower base loads, and the simulations show that these features of hurricane wind field can lead to loads that are substantially in excess of those that would be predicted if wind fields with equally high mean wind speeds but without the associated direction change and veer were used in the analysis.

TL;DR: The present work analyzes the static strength of reinforced T-joints and sheds light on the following aspects: shell elements are a valid alternative to solid modeling; the best combination of element type and mesh density for several configurations is shown; the ultimatestatic strength of joints can be predicted, as well as when mechanical properties are roughly introduced for some FE topologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interplay between low-carbon geotechnical engineering and unsaturated soil mechanics based on the research carried out within the project TERRE (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks funded by the European Commission), is discussed.
