TL;DR: This paper systematically reviewed the state-of-the-art approaches of wind power forecasting with regard to physical, statistical (time series and artificial neural networks) and hybrid methods, including factors that affect accuracy and computational time in the predictive modelling efforts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature on the compressive stress-strain behavior of Al/SiC nanoscale multilayers was studied by means of micropillar compression tests at 23 °C and 100 °C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the mechanical properties of composite laminates as a function of temperature by means of nanoindentation in Al/SiC nanolaminates, a model metal-ceramic nanolaminate fabricated by physical vapor deposition.

TL;DR: It is highlighted that the process parameters must be revised for manufacturing of multifunctional composites and recommendations for enabling internally embedded piezoelectricity (and thus health-monitoring capabilities) in high-performance composite laminates are provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the high-temperature nanoindentation response of Al/SiC nanolaminates is explored from room temperature up to 300°C. Selected nano-indentations were analyzed postmortem using focused ion beam and transmission electron microscopy to ascertain the microstructural changes and the deformation mechanisms operating at high temperature.
