Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of Mechanical Behavior and Damage of a Large Composite Wind Turbine Blade under Critical Loads
TL;DR: In this article, the simulation of mechanical behavior and damage of a 48m composite wind turbine blade under critical wind loads is performed by using ABAQUS code to predict the most critical damage behavior and to apprehend and obtain knowledge of the complex structural behavior of wind turbine blades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of durability of composite materials applied to renewable marine energy: Case of ducted tidal turbine
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the durability of composite materials of a ducted tidal turbine under critical loads (hydrodynamic and hydrostatic pressures) with the implementation of a failure criterion using the finite element analysis (FEA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Damage prediction of horizontal axis marine current turbines under hydrodynamic, hydrostatic and impacts loads
TL;DR: In this article, a parametric analysis is conducted which deals with the effect of velocity, energy and geometry of the impactor, and the mechanical behavior has been analyzed as both kinematic effect due to deflection of the composite structure and dynamic effect caused by the interaction between the impactors and the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic pressures over the loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of hygrothermal aging effects on high strain rate behaviour of adhesively bonded composite joints
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hygrothermal aging phenomenon on the behavior of adhesively bonded composite joints at high strain rates were analyzed utilizing the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bars (SHPB) technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anomalous particle pinch in tokamaks
TL;DR: In this article, a quasilinear theory was proposed to explain the inward particle pinch observed in tokamaks, where the diffusion coefficient in phase space usually varies with the particle energy.
