WORKSHOP:

THE

DYNAMIC

BEHAVIOUR

OF

28--30 April 1986, Sophia Antipolis (Alpes-Maritimes), France Organized by: A.F.M.E. (Agency Franqaise pour la Ma[trise de l'Energie) and A.F.E.E. (Association Fran~aise pour l'Energie Eolienne), in cooperation with: E.W.E.A. (European Wind Energy Association), supported by: C.E.C. (The Commission of the European Communities). During the last few years, the progressive marketing of advanced technologies has led to the growth and development of wind energy. Not only has wind energy benefited from previous knowledge in the aeronautic field, but it has also been in itself the starting point of fruitful researches such as non-rigid structures, three-dimensional non-stationary flows and the dynamics of energetic systems. Today, it seems important not to leave the most sophisticated techniques in the hands of a few specialists, but to let them be known to the world's industry. Therefore, A.F.M.E. and A.F.E.E. have accordingly decided to organize a special workshop on "The dynamic behaviour of wind turbines", one of the key-themes in the development of this particularly promising energetic resource. This siminar will take place in the A.F.M.E. auditorium at Sophia Antipolis.

Topics I. Structural behaviour 1. The wind as dynamic excitation source 2. Structural instabilities
