Corrosion fatigue analysis of NREL's 15-MW offshore wind turbine with time-varying stress concentration factors
(2024)Over the last twenty years, significant development in wind turbine technologies has led to a dramatic increase in the scale of wind turbines with many now beginning to be installed in offshore locations. Consequently, ... -
Estimating the performance of wind turbines misaligned with respect to the wind direction using a simplified CFD based approach
(2024)Wind direction in atmospheric boundary layer changes constantly. As such, the power extracted from the wind turbines in a wind farm is subjected to change. This change in wind direction impacts the wake pattern which in ... -
Validation of Acceleration Response Modelling for Modular High Rise Structures through Full Scale Monitoring
(2023)For many tall building forms, habitability requirements associated with excessive acceleration response become a governing design criterion as building heights increase. The application of modular construction methods ... -
Improved fatigue life of floating offshore wind turbine towers with tuned mass damper inerters (TMDIs)
(2023)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are the largest rotating structures on earth. FOWTs are very flexible and dynamically sensitive, they are also installed in very harsh environments and exposed to stochastic ... -
Observer based pitch control for load mitigation and power regulation of floating offshore wind turbines
Most commercial wind turbines use proportional-integral (PI) collective blade- pitch control to regulate rotor speed in the above-rated wind speed regime. A significant drawback of this type of controller is that it ... -

Theory of liquid and plastic limits for fine soils, methods of determination and outlook
(2024)Albert Atterberg introduced various consistency limits (state transitions) for fine-grained soil in the 1910s. Of these, the liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (PL) are ubiquitous in geotechnical engineering practice, ... -
Impact of Nitrogen Dioxide on Health with Particular Emphasis on Vulnerable Groups
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2023)Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a highly reactive gas and is primarily produced by the burning of fuel. It forms from emissions from cars, trucks and buses and power plants. Exposure to NO2 has been associated with adverse ... -
Laboratory hydraulic tensile strength correlation with strength-based brittleness indices for carbonate reservoirs
(2024)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is the primary choice for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. Rock tensile strength and brittleness are crucial parameters required for screening candidate reservoirs and in designing successful HF ... -
Impact of Sources of Damping On the Fragility Estimates of Wind Turbine Towers
(2024)Fragility estimates in wind turbine towers have been investigated but the the effect of damping on fragility has not been studied. While damping can often be small, it can come from different sources for a wind turbine. ... -
Physics-Informed Neural Network surrogate model for bypassing Blade Element Momentum theory in wind turbine aerodynamic load estimation
(2024)This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), specifically Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), for dynamic surrogate modelling of wind turbines. PINNs offer the flexibility to model complex ... -
Intercomparison of marine tracer and catchment-based submarine groundwater discharge estimates for a karst aquifer
