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 ...
Validation of the multi-objective structural optimisation of a composite wind turbine blade
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)
Structural optimisation of a wind turbine blade is presented in this work. The optimisation was performed using a multi-objective genetic algorithm and finite element modelling to determine the optimal structural design ...
Application of a staged automated calibration methodology to a partially-retrofitted university building energy model
(Elsevier, 2019-07-10)
Deep-retrofit planning for existing buildings demands high accuracy in energy modelling prediction that minimises the gap between actual and simulated scenarios. A large set of interacting variables and uncertainties in ...
