High Strength Steel Fatigue Crack Growth Database for Offshore Renewable Energy Applications

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High strength steels can reduce costs and carbon emissions in offshore renewable energy, but their effect on structural integrity remains unclear. In welded structures, such as support structures for offshore wind and tidal turbines, fatigue life is dominated by crack growth from flaws at weld toes.

Beyond the Wind: Mapping Externalities and Their Role in Shaping Willingness To Pay for Wind Energy

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTWind power plays a central role in global low‐carbon energy transitions, offering significant environmental benefits through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and decreased reliance on fossil fuels. Yet, local opposition to wind projects persists, often driven by perceived externalities affecting communities and landscapes. This study conducts a

Dynamic Capabilities as Drivers of Circular Business Models: Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships

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 ...

From Content Coverage to Competence Development: Shifting Mechanics Education Toward Modeling and Reflection

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Many engineering courses are still organized according to a predominantly deductive and content‐oriented approach: theoretical foundations are introduced first, while authentic disciplinary activity is often postponed to later stages of the curriculum.

Capability and Limitations of a Tuned Mass Damper for a 15‐MW Semisubmersible Floating Wind Turbine

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Large floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) under coupled aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loading exhibit broadband low‐frequency response in addition to the platform‐pitch resonance. Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) have been studied for a range of applications, but their net benefit under fully coupled operational conditions has not been quantified.

Cooling Holes in Polymer Spur Gears: A Critical Analysis of Heat Dissipation Benefits and Mesh Stiffness Penalties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 38, October 10, 2026.
Cooling holes provide a simple passive cooling strategy for polymer spur gears, reducing maximum operating temperature by up to 9.39% while introducing a measurable gear mesh stiffness penalty. A validated response‐surface model reveals how hole size and location govern this thermal–mechanical trade‐off, enabling design optimization for thermally and ...

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Corrosion Detection: Multi‐Sensor Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 3565-3583, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Corrosion remains a critical threat to the integrity and service life of infrastructure in industries such as oil, gas, construction, renewable energy, and transportation. Traditional inspection methods, being labor‐intensive, hazardous, and often subjective, fall short in addressing modern inspection demands.

Strain‐Dependent Evolution of Fatigue and Oxidation Damage in a Nickel‐Based Single‐Crystal Superalloy: The Dominant Mechanism Under Low‐Cycle and Thermomechanical Fatigue

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Systematic studies on the fatigue deformation and damage mechanisms of nickel‐based single‐crystal superalloys (Ni‐SXs) under combined thermal and mechanical conditions remain limited, particularly regarding the influence of strain amplitude on the relative contributions of fatigue and oxidation damage.

Tailoring the Mechanical Properties of L‐DED‐Fabricated γ‐TiAl Alloys Through Heat Treatment: Correlating Microstructural Evolution With Fracture Mechanisms

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Laser‐directed energy deposition (L‐DED) offers a flexible route for fabricating γ‐TiAl components, but the as‐deposited microstructure requires post‐processing to overcome limited deformation capability. Here, an L‐DED Ti–48Al–2Cr–2Nb alloy was subjected to solution and solution‐aging treatments.
