Development of Vertical Wind Turbine Blades Using 4D Printing of Composites
Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Vertical axis wind turbine: White blade: Commercial. Black blade: Composite. ABSTRACT This paper presents the procedure to make vertical wind turbine blades using the technique of 4D printing of composites (4DPC). The blades are made using carbon/epoxy composite materials with a fiber volume fraction of about 60%.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study develops a method to identify the source areas of precipitation events, as illustrated for the western part of the Netherlands. Radar‐based precipitation data are traced back to their source areas and machine‐learning techniques are used to identify hypothesized causes: urban heat, surface roughness, and air pollution. We find that urban and

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A newly developed robust control strategy based on an adaptive neural network (ANN) estimator performed in concert with adaptive super‐twisting (ASTW) control is presented. The proposed adaptive robust control algorithm is applied to a class of perturbed nonlinear systems and features a significantly decreased control gain with respect to the ...
