Skin Sensitisation and Dermatitis Among Epoxy‐Exposed Workers in a Wind Turbine Plant: Influence of Occupational Factors

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Epoxy resin sensitisation remains a relevant occupational risk in wind turbine blade manufacturing, confined to high‐exposure tasks and often presenting as hand dermatitis. Accurate diagnosis requires epoxy‐specific patch testing, and prevention must go beyond personal protective equipment.

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 ...

An Efficient Geometrically‐Exact Nonlinear Shell Formulation Based on Rodrigues Parameters

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Thin‐walled structures are part of many engineering applications, as wind turbine blades, pressure vessels, and sheet metal products. A thin‐walled structure is characterized by one significantly smaller dimension compared to the others.

Ocean Wave Modulation of Offshore Wind Turbine Loads and Wake

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how wave‐induced modulation affects the operational performance and structural dynamics of fixed‐bottom offshore wind turbines operating under a neutral atmospheric boundary layer profile. To capture these effects accurately while maintaining computational efficiency, unsteady RANS modelling techniques are employed.

Wind turbine blades vibration: review

Multidiszciplináris Tudományok
The rapid development of wind turbines and the elongation of their blades necessitate extensive studies to address higher loads, displacement and vibrational amplitude, nonlinearity in the geometry, nonlinear stiffness, and many other challenges. Moreover, as many countries are shifting towards wind energy due to its effectiveness and low environmental

Physics‐Informed Bayesian Optimisation of Utility‐Scale Wind Farms in Synthetically Generated Complex Terrain Using LES

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Optimising turbine layouts to maximise power output is crucial for wind farm development, particularly in complex terrain where analytical wake models fail to capture key flow physics. We present the first application of Bayesian optimisation (BO) combined with large eddy simulations (LES) for utility‐scale wind farm layout optimisation in ...

Comparison of Power and Thrust Performance for a Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines have been identified as a critical technology for sustainable electricity generation. Wind resource assessment is used to determine optimal locations for floating wind farms. However, current methodologies do not account for performance differences between fixed and floating turbines due to wind‐ and wave ...
