Typhoon track simulations in the North West Pacific : informing a new wind map for Vietnam (2020)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., Owen, J., Franke, J., Neves, L., & Hargreaves, D. (2021). Typhoon track simulations in the North West Pacific : informing a new wind map for Vietnam. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 208, 10441. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2020.104441

This paper addresses the need to revise the current Vietnamese design wind map by proposing a new typhoon wind map for the country, based on Monte Carlo simulations of typhoon tracks in the North West Pacific basin. Using historical typhoon data from... Read More about Typhoon track simulations in the North West Pacific : informing a new wind map for Vietnam.

Predicted aerodynamic damping of slender single beam structures in across-wind vibrations (2020)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., & Nguyen, D. (2020). Predicted aerodynamic damping of slender single beam structures in across-wind vibrations. Acta mechanica Sinica = Li xue xue bao / the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 36(5), 990-998. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10409-020-00981-0

The paper presents a generalization of the conventional analytical approach where the quasi-steady theory is utilised to evaluate the across-wind aerodynamic damping of slender single beam structures. This generalized theory considers the variation o... Read More about Predicted aerodynamic damping of slender single beam structures in across-wind vibrations.

Mitigating large vibrations of stayed cables in wind and rain hazards (2020)
Journal Article
Vo-Duy, H., & Nguyen, C. (2020). Mitigating large vibrations of stayed cables in wind and rain hazards. Shock and Vibration, 2020, 5845712. https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/5845712

This paper presents an experimental investigation of stayed cable vibrations in dry-wind and rain-wind coupling hazards. To mitigate large vibrations of the cable, the use of spiral wires wrapped around the cable is proposed. By testing two cable mod...

Non-across-wind galloping of a square-section cylinder (2020)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., Macdonald, J., & Cammelli, S. (2020). Non-across-wind galloping of a square-section cylinder. Meccanica, 55(6), 1333-1345. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11012-020-01166-6

This paper presents new insights on the galloping instability phenomenon of square-section prisms. The role of the orientation of the structural axes on the galloping response is studied through wind tunnel tests and quasi-steady theory. A new series...
