Interfacial Chemistry Behind Damage Monitoring in Glass Fiber‐Reinforced Composites: Attempts and Perspectives

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Role of the modifications at the interface in glass fiber reinforced composites for damage monitoring. ABSTRACT Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRPs) are widely used in structural applications but degrade over time due to internal damage. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) enables early damage detection, improving reliability and reducing maintenance

Numerical Study on the Impact Pressure of Droplets on Wind Turbine Blades Using a Whirling Arm Rain Erosion Tester

open access: yesFluids
The leading-edge erosion of a wind turbine blade was tested using a whirling arm rain erosion tester, whose rotation rate is considerably higher than that of a full-scale wind turbine owing to the scale effect.

The macro-fibre composite–bonded effect analysis on the micro-energy harvester performance and structural health–monitoring system of woven kenaf turbine blade for vertical axis wind turbine application

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018
The application of vertical axis wind turbine is suitable in a low wind speed environment. Nevertheless, vertical axis wind turbine with kenaf turbine blade will promote an additional green concept by utilising biocomposite materials.

Sensitivity Analysis of the Elastic Properties of Graphene/Fiber‐Reinforced Nanocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
The formation of graphene/fiber‐reinforced nanocomposites. ABSTRACT This study offers a detailed sensitivity analysis of the elastic behavior of graphene/fiber‐reinforced nanocomposites using a multiscale micromechanical modeling framework. It focuses on key elastic properties, which are the longitudinal modulus (E11$$ {E}_{11} $$), transverse modulus (

Water‐Borne Erosion of Reinforced Polymer Composites: Application to Shallow Offshore Marine Environment

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...

Design of Thermal Barrier Coatings Thickness for Gas Turbine Blade Based on Finite Element Analysis

open access: yes, 2017
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are deposited on the turbine blade to reduce the temperature of underlying substrate, as well as providing protection against the oxidation and hot corrosion from high temperature gas.

Evaluation of the WRF model for simulating deep convection and cold‐pool characteristics relevant to wind‐energy applications in Germany

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Deep convection and cold‐pool characteristics over Germany during July 2023 are investigated using Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) radar observations and a Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulation. The temporal evolution of convective cell features reveals a downward‐facing parabolic pattern in both WRF and observations, in terms of cell ...
