Assessment of Fatigue Crack Growth Characteristics of Laminated Biaxial/Triaxial Hybrid Composite in Wind Turbine Blades

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The composite blade is integral to megawatt-class wind turbines and frequently incurs interlaminar damages such as adhesive failures, cracks, and fractures, which may originate from manufacturing flaws or sustained external fatigue loads.

Wind Turbine Tribology

open access: yes, 2012
Wind power is of increasing interest in society due to its prospects as an environmentally friendly source of renewable energy. The use of wind turbines to extract electrical energy from wind can be dated back to the late-1800s, with the 12 kW windmill generator by Charles Brush, as well as the mid-1900s, with the 1250 kW Smith-Putnam wind turbine ...

Machine Learning‐Based Optimization of Pixel Light Intensities for Improving Polymerization Accuracy in Digital Light Processing 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A machine learning platform is developed to optimize sliced images for digital light processing 3D printing by locally tuning light intensity for higher precision printing. A reduced‐order model accurately predicts the degree of conversion in 3D space to calculate resulting shapes.

Stacking Interventions Enhances Carbon Removals and Profitability of Livestock Production Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The study indicates that stacking multiple interventions aimed at maximising soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and enteric methane (CH4) reductions realizes greater abatement and profit do any singular intervention, especially when SOC sequestration accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) mitigation. Abstract While
