Preface

Abstract

In the ever-advancing realm of renewable energy, wind turbines have unfurled as magnificent guardians, capturing the boundless energy of the wind to lead us toward a cleaner, greener future. Within this captivating landscape, we proudly unveil “Multiphysics of Wind Turbines in Extreme Loading Conditions.” This book is concerned with one aspect of wind turbines which is deal-ing with multiphysics of this class of structures when subjected to extreme loads. Extreme loads may be mechanical, thermal, or dynamic, but the way to deal with them separately or in conjunction with other loads is to under-stand the structural behavior and response to each category as the initial point of departure and to include the interactions among the relevant phe-nomena. <p>

<p>This book is an attempt to look into such scenarios. This captivat-ing volume brings together the profound insights and tireless endeavors of esteemed researchers and experts, delving into the intricate world of wind turbine technology when confronted with the daunting challenges of extreme loading. Each chapter of this book serves as a gateway to unparal-leled knowledge, illuminating various dimensions of wind turbines and their responses to nature’s formidable forces.
