A method for analysing fluid structure interactions on a horizontal axis tidal turbine
, 2011 Free stream tidal turbines are rotating bodies in fast flowing tidal currents, and as such are exposed to fluctuating loads from the surrounding fluid.

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Physics‐based design optimization workflows thread the needle between computational cost limitations and simulation complexity, often compromising between modeling detail and the range of operating design conditions. Multipoint aerostructural optimization of wind turbine rotors has so far been confined to low‐fidelity analyses or to high ...

Contact Dermatitis, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 65-73, July 2026.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.

Modelling the aerodynamics of vertical-axis wind turbines in unsteady wind conditions
, 2013 Most numerical and experimental studies of the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines have been conducted with the rotors in steady, and thus somewhat artificial, wind conditions - with the result that turbine aerodynamics, under varying wind ...

Development of Vertical Wind Turbine Blades Using 4D Printing of Composites
Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 10966-10975, 20 June 2026.Vertical axis wind turbine: White blade: Commercial. Black blade: Composite. ABSTRACT This paper presents the procedure to make vertical wind turbine blades using the technique of 4D printing of composites (4DPC). The blades are made using carbon/epoxy composite materials with a fiber volume fraction of about 60%.

Forecasting long term jack up vessel demand for offshore wind
, 2013 Offshore wind deployment has greatly increased in the last decade. The number and size of installations have historically determined the requirement for jack up vessels, as installation was the only driver for heavy lift vessel requirement.

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.Nickel‐based alloys are widely used in high‐temperature applications due to their excellent mechanical strength and oxidation resistance. However, properties such as high‐temperature strength and pronounced work‐hardening make them difficult to machine.

Optimisation of vertical axis wind turbines
A practical Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWTs) based on a Darrieus rotor has been designed and tested and found to be capable of self-starting at wind speeds above 4m/s. The self-start feature has been achieved by replacing the usual symmetrical aerofoil
