EVOLUTIONARY DESIGN OF WIND TURBINE BLADES

International Journal of Computing, 2014
An automatic design environment is implemented for the aerodynamic design of wind turbine blades. This tool involves the integration of evolutionary techniques and a simple, fast, and robust aerodynamic simulator which was developed for the prediction of the performance of any turbine blade produced by the evolutionary process.

Measuring Corporate Alignment With the Circular Economy: a Text‐Based Circularity Index From Mandatory Non‐Financial Disclosures

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) has become a strategic priority for firms, yet empirical assessments of corporate circularity remain fragmented and heavily dependent on structured indicators or self‐reported metrics. This paper proposes a novel, text‐based circularity index derived from mandatory non‐financial statements of large ...

Designing γ‐TiAl Alloys With Refined Twin‐Lamellar Microstructures via Machine Learning‐Driven Phase‐Field Methods

Materials Genome Engineering Advances, EarlyView.
Dual‐phase γ‐TiAl alloys with refined twin‐lamellar (RTL) structures exhibit optimal strength‐ductility synergy. Here, phase‐field simulations reveal composition‐stress‐dependent refined twin‐lamellar (RTL) microstructure evolution. Machine learning (CatBoost + NSGA‐III) trained on phase‐field images predicts optimal RTL‐stress‐composition design space.
