The University of Michigan was awarded a three-year, $414,847 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041).
The grant funds the "PERFORMANCE-BASED WIND ENGINEERING: KNOWLEDGE AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELING ADVANCES FOR COLLAPSE CHARACTERIZATION" project to advance knowledge and computational modeling of wind turbine collapse behavior. The University of Michigan will leverage its expertise in performance-based wind engineering to develop computational models and methods for improved characterization of wind turbine collapse scenarios. Insights gained from this research can enhance wind turbine design practices and safety standards. The project aims to deliver improved modeling capabilities and technical guidance over the three-year award period ending August 2024.
