A comprehensive review of wind turbine aeroelasticity is given. The aerodynamic part starts
with the simple aerodynamic Blade Element Momentum Method and ends with giving a …

Rotating composite beams and blades have a wide range of applications in various
engineering structures such as wind turbines, industrial fans, and steam turbines. Therefore …

This paper proposes several axiomatic refined theories for the linear static analysis of
beams made of isotropic materials. A hierarchical scheme is obtained by extending plates …

A generalized, finite-element-based, cross-sectional analysis for nonhomogenous, initially
curved and twisted, anistropic beams is formulated from geometrically nonlinear, three …

A variationally and asymptotically consistent theory is developed in order to derive the
governing equations of anisotropic thin-walled beams with closed sections. The theory is …

This paper describes a multibody dynamics approach to the modeling of rotorcraft systems
and reviews the key aspects of the simulation procedure. The multibody dynamics analysis …

In this paper a new anisotropic beam finite element for composite wind turbine blades is
developed and implemented into the aeroelastic nonlinear multibody code, HAWC2 …

Abstract Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) is used to perform free-vibrational analyses of
rotating structures. CUF is a hierarchical formulation which offers a procedure to obtain …

The helicopter rotor wake is among the most complex fluid dynamic structures being three
dimensional and in many cases unsteady. The wake begins at the blade (s) where the flow …

This paper focuses on two nonclassical effects in the behavior of thin‐walled composite
beams: elastic bending‐shear coupling and restrained torsional warping. These …
