Physical experimental static testing and structural design optimisation for a composite wind turbine blade
(Elsevier, 2016-12-10)
This study presents experimental testing on a 13 m long glass-fibre epoxy composite wind turbine blade. The results of the test were used to calibrate finite element models. A design optimisation study was then performed ...
Operational fatigue loading on tidal turbine blades using computational fluid dynamics
(Elsevier, 2020-01-20)
As the world moves to a greater reliance on renewable energy, a vital component will be the predictability and dependability of the energy source; tidal energy provides such a solution. Horizontal axis tidal turbines are ...
