A novel approach to structural load control using intelligent actuators [PDF]
, 2009 The recent trend towards large multi-MW wind turbines resulted in the role of the control system becoming increasingly important. The extension of the role of the controller to alleviate structural loads has motivated the exploration of novel control ...

Are inclined screw blades for vertical grain augers advantageous? [PDF]
, 1978 Due to modern technology, screw blades are often manufactured by rolling them out of one single strip of steel. When simultaneously some blade inclination is applied, less residual stresses and/or larger possible ratios between outer and shaft diameter ...

Influence of blade aerodynamic model on prediction of helicopter rotor aeroacoustic signatures [PDF]
, 2011 Brown’s vorticity transport model has been used to investigate how the local blade aerodynamic model influences the quality of the prediction of the high-frequency airloads associated with blade–vortex interactions, and thus the accuracy with which the ...

Hingeless helicopter rotor with improved stability [PDF]
, 1976 Improved stability was provided in a hingeless helicopter rotor by inclining the principal elastic flexural axes and coupling pitching of the rotor blade with the lead-lag bending of the blade.

Comparison of calculated and experimental cascade performance for controlled-diffusion compressor stator blading [PDF]
, 1986 The mid-span section of a previously reported controlled-diffusion compressor stator has been experimentally evaluated in cascade. Measurements are taken over a range of incidence angles for blade chord Reynolds numbers from 470,000 to 690,000.

High resolution computation of the aerodynamics and acoustics of blade vortex interaction [PDF]
, 2008 In the present work, high resolution CFD simulations have been performed on an idealised problem of the interaction of an independently generated vortex with a rotor blade, including a case where the vortex directly impacts on the blade.
