Safety margins of aerospace structures can be improved through altering the laminate
parameters of composite materials to increase flutter and divergence velocities. Existing …

With the progression of novel design, material, and manufacturing technologies, the wind
energy industry has successfully produced larger and larger wind turbine rotor blades while …

Flutter is an instability phenomenon that can occur in wind turbine blades due to fluid–
structure interaction, particularly for longer and more flexible blades. Aeroelastic tailoring …

The current trend in offshore wind energy is to design and install blades with larger swept
areas that yield unprecedented efficiency. Long and slender blades are needed to achieve …

Wind turbine blades, being flexible, are susceptible to damage during typhoons. Studying
the aeroelastic response of these blades in typhoon conditions is crucial for providing a …

Wind turbines are growing in size and increasingly suffer from aeroelastic instabilities.
Unfortunately, numerical models often show inconsistent results during verification studies …

In this work, we present an approach to study the aeroelastic stability of a wind turbine by
focusing on the dynamics of a blade cross section. We present a methodology to obtain a …

An enhanced reduced-order model is proposed to analyze the stability of small-and mid-
scale wind turbine blades. A series of linear and nonlinear analyses are presented …

Wind turbine blades experience varying aerodynamic forces in their lifetime. These forces
must be accounted for with proper blade design and appropriate material selections. During …

Wind energy is an essential part of the Green Deal. The trend to increase the size of wind
turbines, especially offshore, introduces additional dynamic effects at the long and flexible …
