Structural Characteristics of Wind Turbines with Different Blade Materials Under Yaw Condition

Energies
The uneven distribution of airflow on the blade surface of a yaw wind turbine triggers a complex non-constant flow, resulting in turbine flow field operation disorder, which, in turn, affects the structural field.

Power Quality‐Oriented Multiloop Design of Floating Wind Turbines Pitch Control

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) face inherent control limitations in above‐rated operating conditions due to right‐half‐plane zeros in the blade‐pitch‐to‐rotor‐speed dynamics, which restrict achievable control bandwidth and may lead to closed‐loop instability.

Evaluation of Creep Life and Damage for AISI 304 Under Combined Tension/Torsion Multiaxial Loading

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1327-1339, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In the present study, to investigate the effects of temperature and principal stress ratio on the multiaxial creep rupture time of AISI 304 stainless steel, creep tests were conducted under various principal stress ratios at 650°C and 700°C.

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

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 4102-4126, 10 March 2026.
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 ...

Engineering Deformation and Failure in Diamond Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Lattices via 3D Wall‐Thickness Grading

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 5, 4 March 2026.
The work demonstrates that strategic wall‐thickness grading in diamond triply periodic minimal surface lattices enables precise tuning of deformation and failure behavior under compression. Different gradation patterns guide how and where the structure collapses, improving energy absorption or promoting controlled brittle failure.

A Machine Vision Method for Identifying Blade Tip Clearance in Wind Turbines

Sensors
This paper introduces a machine vision method for measuring the blade tip clearance in a wind turbine. An industrial personal computer (IPC) is installed in the nacelle of the wind turbine to continuously receive video data from a digital camera mounted ...

A Biologically‐Architected Wear and Damage‐Resistant Nanoparticle Coating From the Radular Teeth of Cryptochiton stelleri

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.

Using Multiple Regression Models and Methods to Estimate Fatigue‐Life Distributions and Construct Constant‐Life Diagrams

Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, Volume 42, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fatigue is the most common reliability failure mechanism and has been studied widely since the 19th century. Material specimens are used in laboratory experiments to obtain fatigue test data. An S‐N curve is used to depict the relationship between the stress (or strain) S$$ S $$ and the number of cycles to failure N$$ N $$. Statistical methods

Movement Models to Predict Low‐Altitude Flight of Soaring Birds Using Look‐Ahead Environmental Factors

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Eagles see ahead. Now our model does too. By modeling how eagles respond to terrain and wind conditions in their line of sight, we can predict where they'll fly in the next 3 min with 3× better accuracy than current methods—protecting eagles while maximizing energy production.
