Performance of an optimized rotor blade at off-design flight conditions [PDF]
An investigation is made of the dynamic and aerodynamic performance of a helicopter rotor previously optimized for minimum 4/rev vertical shear and blade weight subject to certain dynamic and structural constraints.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The rapid expansion of wind energy across the Mediterranean region calls for more advanced tools to assess and mitigate its impacts on biodiversity. In this study, we present an innovative approach combining 13‐year satellite imagery analysis and ecological modelling, to assess the spatiotemporal overlap between wind energy development and habitat ...

Effects of Hold Time on the Elevated Temperature Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior of Alloy 247LC‐DS
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Creep–fatigue crack growth (CFCG) experiments were performed at 850°C and 950°C on nominally 12.70‐mm‐thick compact‐type specimens of alloy 247LC‐DS, a Ni‐base superalloy. The loading cycles consisted of trapezoidal waveforms with hold times of 2 and 20 min at the maximum force.

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, the influence of resin cross‐link density on thermomechanical properties and fatigue behavior of polyurethane resins and glass fiber‐reinforced polyurethane (PUR‐GFRP) composites was investigated. This material is a candidate for renewable energy applications like rotor blades in wind turbines.

Unsteady blade pressure measurements on a model counterrotation propeller [PDF]
In an exploratory effort an advanced counterrotation propeller instrumented with blade-mounted pressure transducers was tested in the NASA Lewis 9- by 15-Foot Anechoic Wind Tunnel at a simulated takeoff and landing speed of Mach 0.20. The propeller's aft

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...

The performance of rotary power tiller using prototype rotary blades in dry-land field [PDF]
Maejo International Journal of Science and Technology, 2008 The effect of shape of prototype rotary blades on the performance of rotary power tiller was investigated in this study. Three sets of rotors, i.e. 14-blade rotor of the Japanese C-shape blade (4.5 cm tilling width of one blade; T1), 14-blade rotor of ...
