Implementation of Machine Learning in Predicting Pin-Bearing Strength of Aged and Nonaged Pultruded GFRP Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are widely used materials in construction. Their use in structural applications, especially in civil infrastructure, requires structural analysis and design of their connections ...
Experimental Testing and Numerical Analysis of a GFRP BladePole Prototype Repurposed from a Decommissioned GE37 Wind Turbine Blade
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are the main constituents of wind turbine blades. Due to the large numbers of wind turbine blades deployed around the globe and their limited life span of 20–25 years, ...
As-Received Physical and Mechanical Properties of the Spar Cap of a GE37 Decommissioned Glass FRP Wind Turbine Blade
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: E-glass fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite wind turbine blades are nonbiodegradable, and their end-of-life recycling solutions are limited. Research on reusing and repurposing applications, where minimal amounts of ...
Structural Analysis of a Wind Turbine Blade Repurposed as an Electrical Transmission Pole
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper focuses on the conceptual use of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wind turbine blade that is repurposed for a second life as an electrical transmission pole. Thousands of tons of fiber-reinforced polymer composite ...
