Development and assessment of a blade element momentum theory model for high solidity vertical axis tidal turbines
(Elsevier, 2020-01-20)Tidal energy is an attractive renewable resource given its predictability. The production of reliable, efficient and cost-effective tidal energy turbines requires the development of computer models for assessment and design ... -
The effect of inclusions on the high‐temperature low‐cycle fatigue performance of cast MarBN: Experimental characterisation and computational modelling
(Wiley, 2018-06-15)The presence of inclusions is a known source of crack initiation and component failure in cast materials. In this work, the role of inclusions is investigated via a combined program of high-temperature low-cycle fatigue ... -
Experimental and computational characterization of the effect of manufacturing-induced defects on high temperature, low-cycle fatigue for MarBN
(Elsevier, 2020-05-22)Manufacturing-induced defects are a key source of crack initiation and component failure under high temperature cyclic loading. In this work, 3D X-ray micro-computed tomography and microstructural analysis of manufacturing-induced ... -
Experimental investigation on damage evolution in pre-corroded aluminum alloy 7075-T7651 under fatigue loading
(Elsevier, 2020-09-01)This paper experimentally investigates the fatigue damage evolution in pre-corroded aluminum alloy (AA) 7075-T7651 via digital image correlation (DIC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Three stages of fatigue damage ... -
Fatigue damage characterisation of MarBN steel for high temperature flexible operating conditions
(SAGE Publications, 2016-09-10)This article is concerned with the high temperature low cycle fatigue behaviour of a new nano-strengthened martensiticferritic steel, MarBN. A range of strain-controlled, low cycle fatigue tests are presented on MarBN at ... -
Fatigue life of pitch- and stall-regulated composite tidal turbine blades
(Elsevier, 2018-02-28)Tidal turbine blades are subject to harsh loading and environmental conditions, including large thrust and torsional loadings, relative to wind turbine blades, due to the high density of seawater, among other factors. The ... -
A further analysis of the role of heterogeneity in coevolutionary spatial games
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)Heterogeneity has been studied as one of the most common explanations of the puzzle of cooperation in social dilemmas. A large number of papers have been published discussing the effects of increasing heterogeneity in ... -
A global-local fretting analysis methodology and design study for the pressure armour layer of dynamic flexible marine risers
(Elsevier, 2019-09-19)In this paper, a global-local fretting design methodology for the pressure armour layer of flexible marine risers is outlined. This includes global dynamic riser analysis, geometrical and analytical sub-models and local ... -
Influence of material inhomogeneity on the mechanical response of a tempered martensite steel
(SAGE Publications, 2017-01-13)Failure in steel weldments operating at high temperatures often occurs in the heat-affected zone adjacent to the weld. Such failures can be a result of material inhomogeneity within the heat-affected zone and in the case ... -
Influence of microstructural defects and hydrostatic pressure on water absorption in composite materials for tidal energy
(SAGE Publications, 2018-01-06)The lifespan and economic viability of tidal energy devices are constrained, in part, by the complex degradation of the tidal turbine blade materials due to prolonged immersion in a hostile sub-sea environment. Seawater ... -
Microstructure modeling of high-temperature microcrack initiation and evolution in a welded 9Cr martensitic steel
(SAGE Publications, 2019-02-28)Welded joints in tempered 9Cr-1Mo operating at elevated temperatures are well known to be prone to premature failure due to cracking in the heat-affected zone. This paper describes a crystal plasticity model to predict the ... -
A multi-scale crystal plasticity model for cyclic plasticity and low-cycle fatigue in a precipitate-strengthened steel at elevated temperature
(Elsevier, 2016-12-24)In this paper, a multi-scale crystal plasticity model is presented for cyclic plasticity and low-cycle fatigue in a tempered martensite ferritic steel at elevated temperature. The model explicitly represents the geometry ... -
A physically-based high temperature yield strength model for 9Cr steels
(Elsevier, 2018-05-24)The strength of 9Cr steels, which is controlled by chemical composition and microstructure, evolves significantly under high temperature loading. This paper presents a temperature-independent, physically-based model for ... -
