Abstract: The coupled axial–torsional modes of vibration are examined for three common types of braided wires: the well-known (1 + 6) configuration, the trapezoidal configuration, and the so-called twisted-pair. Representative volume ...

Abstract: In this study, Reynoldsaveraged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations are performed using the kخµ and kد‰ shear stress transport (SST) turbulence closure schemes to investigate the interactions of horizontalaxis wind turbine ...

Abstract: The behaviors of tip displacement, maximum stress, and natural frequency of vibration as a function of blade length are investigated for extendable wind turbine blades. A threedimensional linear elasticity finiteelement ...
