Wind Turbine Model Validation Is Improved by High‐Resolution, Measurement‐Derived Inflows

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT There is an increased need for accurate validation of turbine models used by original equipment manufacturers to fine‐tune prototypes and predict power performance and maintenance needs while avoiding costly warranty payouts. Perhaps the most substantial source of uncertainty in typical wind turbine model validation procedures is the use of ...

Limit cycle oscillation prediction based on Finite Element-Modal approach [PDF]

open access: yesArchive of Mechanical Engineering, 2018
The central theme of this work was to analyze high aspect ratio structure having structural nonlinearity in low subsonic flow and to model nonlinear stiffness by finite element-modal approach.

An Explicit, Compact, and Rotation‐Agnostic Formulation for Equivalent Nodal Loads for Point‐Loaded Beams

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
ABSTRACT In time‐marching dynamical simulations, treatment of contact forces in deformable bodies represented by finite element meshes requires a compromise between simulation fidelity and computational costs. External forces directly evaluated at the mesh nodes offer better computational performance at the cost of modelling fidelity.

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 947-967, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Design of HAWT Rotor for Non‐Uniform Inflow Conditions: A Theoretical and Experimental Approach for Shear Flow

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1935-1951, April 2026.
This paper aims to provide a robust design approach for HAWTs operating in shear flow. This study fills a critical research gap by integrating BEM and vortex theories for blade design in non‐homogeneous inflow conditions. The authors of the paper made an effort to develop and test an experimentally unsophisticated model of a turbine working in shear ...

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of Morphing Wing Aircraft Considering Rigid‐Elastic Coupling Effects

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 65-85, March 2026.
ABSTRACT During the morphing process, the dynamic modeling of the morphing wing aircraft presents the characteristics of rigid‐elastic coupling effects, moving boundaries, and low computational efficiency. Meanwhile, parameters such as aerodynamic forces/moments, center of pressure, center of mass, and moment of inertia would also change significantly,

Simulated pilot-in-the-loop testing of handling qualities of the flexible wing aircraft

open access: yesAviation, 2020
This article aims to indicate the differences between rigid and flexible wing aircraft flying (FQ) and handling (HQ) qualities. The Simulation Framework for Flexible Aircraft was used to provide a generic cockpit environment and a piloted mathematical ...
