Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Wind turbine blade end-of-life options: An eco-audit comparison

open access: yesJournal of Cleaner Production, 2019
Wind energy has developed rapidly over the last two decades to become one of the most promising economical and green sources of renewable energy, responding to concerns about use of fossil fuels and increasing demand for energy. However, attention is now

Estimating the angle of attack from blade pressure measurements on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory phase VI rotor using a free wake vortex model : yawed conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Wind turbine design codes for calculating blade loads are usually based on a blade element momentum (BEM) approach. Since wind turbine rotors often operate in off-design conditions, such as yawed flow, several engineering methods have been developed to ...

The Use of Renewable Energy in Prominent City Buildings: A Diffusion Study on Top European Football Organizations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study applied the diffusion of innovation theory to investigate the rate of diffusion of renewable energy sources used by Europe's top professional football stadiums and the relationship with carbon neutrality. A discrete diffusion model estimated the diffusion of renewable energy to saturation, and a multivariate logistic ...

Numerical Study on the Impact Pressure of Droplets on Wind Turbine Blades Using a Whirling Arm Rain Erosion Tester

open access: yesFluids
The leading-edge erosion of a wind turbine blade was tested using a whirling arm rain erosion tester, whose rotation rate is considerably higher than that of a full-scale wind turbine owing to the scale effect.

Materials for Wind Turbine Blades: An Overview [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials, 2017
A short overview of composite materials for wind turbine applications is presented here. Requirements toward the wind turbine materials, loads, as well as available materials are reviewed. Apart from the traditional composites for wind turbine blades (glass fibers/epoxy matrix composites), natural composites, hybrid and nanoengineered composites are ...

Vibration analysis for large-scale wind turbine blade bearing fault detection with an empirical wavelet thresholding method

open access: yes, 2020
Blade bearings, also termed pitch bearings, are joint components of wind turbines, which can slowly pitch blades at desired angles to optimize electrical energy output.

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

open access: yesBusiness 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 ...

Assessment and calibration of the γ equation transition model for a wide range of Reynolds numbers at low Mach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The numerical simulation of flows over large-scale wind turbine blades without considering the transition from laminar to fully turbulent flow may result in incorrect estimates of the blade loads and performance.
