Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
Sustainable Alternative of Structural Concrete Retaining Tanks
(Emerald Publishing, 2018-05)
The environmental footprint of the construction industry requires the quantification of new developments to appraise their sustainable contribution. Recent developments in relation to the merging of steel fibre reinforced ...
Efficient assembly of bolted joints under external loads using numerical FEM
(Elsevier, 2018-05-16)
Several factors can cause leakages in a bolted flange connection, external loads being the
most important one. External loads such as those produced by misalignment introduce an
external axial load combined with a bending ...
An engineering approach for the estimation of slewing bearing stiffness in Wind Turbine Generators
(Wiley, 2018-11-30)
The stiffness of yaw and pitch slewing bearings has a critical influence on the structural
behaviour of Wind Turbine Generators. Thus, it is commonly required by designers for
their simulations to estimate deformations ...
Static structural behaviour of wire bearings: comparison with conventional bearings and study of design and operational parameters
(Elsevier, 2018-10-28)
In wire bearings the rolling process occurs on raceways machined on steel wires, and the rings are
made of light materials such as aluminium. This particular architecture provides both weight and
inertia savings, but ...
