This study reviews the recent progress in the application of digital image correlation (DIC) to
testing composite structures with an order of size magnitude of meters. The DIC technique …

A review of wind turbine aerodynamics research is presented. The review is limited to
Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) investigations. The focus is on recent near wake …

The present work describes a method for the structural optimization of wind turbine rotor
blades for given prescribed aerodynamic shape. The proposed approach operates at …

Abstract Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is employed for the measurement of full-field
deformation during fluid–structure interaction experiments in a wind tunnel. The …

In the present study an evaluation of the potential for bend-twist coupling effects in wind
turbine blades is addressed. A method for evaluation of the coupling magnitude based on …

In this work, two different blade structural models are used to estimate the blade
deformations and the global structural responses of a 10MW floating offshore wind turbine …

This paper presents selected results and aspects of the multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary research oriented for the experimental and numerical study of the structural …

A fully iterative 'two-way'fluid-structure interaction (FSI) tool of a commercially available
composite windsurfer fin was developed, which was then used to investigate the normally …

Four plausible design concepts are applied together to investigate composite bend–twist
propeller-blade designs that show high twisting per bending deflection. The design concepts …

A method for structural analysis of thin-walled composite beams like wind turbine blades is
presented. This method is based on the Nonhomogeneous Anisotropic Beam Section …
