    A Review of Wind Turbine Blade Morphing: Power, Vibration, and Noise

    Md. Mahbub Alam*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.21, No.4, pp. 657-695, 2025, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2025.060942 - 06 May 2025

    Abstract Wind turbines play a vital role in renewable energy production. This review examines advancements in wind turbine blade morphing technologies aimed at enhancing power coefficients, reducing vibrations, and minimizing noise generation. Efficiency, vibration, and noise levels can be optimized through morphing techniques applied to the blade’s shape, leading edge, trailing edge, and surface. Leading-edge morphing is particularly effective in improving efficiency and reducing noise, as flow attachment and separation at the leading edge significantly influence lift and vortex generation. Morphing technologies often draw inspiration from bionic designs based on natural phenomena, highlighting the potential of More > Graphic Abstract

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.19, No.3, pp. 665-682, 2025, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2025.059044 - 03 April 2025

    Abstract Rolling bearings are important parts of industrial equipment, and their fault diagnosis is crucial to maintaining these equipment’s regular operations. With the goal of improving the fault diagnosis accuracy of rolling bearings under complex working conditions and noise, this study proposes a multiscale information fusion method for fault diagnosis of rolling bearings based on fast Fourier transform (FFT) and variational mode decomposition (VMD), as well as the Senet (SE)-TCNnet (TCN) model. FFT is used to transform the original one-dimensional time domain vibration signal into a frequency domain signal, while VMD is used to decompose the… More >

    Abstract Addressing the current challenges in transforming pixel displacement into physical displacement in visual monitoring technologies, as well as the inability to achieve precise full-field monitoring, this paper proposes a method for identifying the structural dynamic characteristics of wind turbines based on visual monitoring data fusion. Firstly, the Lucas-Kanade Tomasi (LKT) optical flow method and a multi-region of interest (ROI) monitoring structure are employed to track pixel displacements, which are subsequently subjected to band pass filtering and resampling operations. Secondly, the actual displacement time history is derived through double integration of the acquired acceleration data and… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.82, No.3, pp. 3797-3820, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.062079 - 06 March 2025

    Abstract Molecular dynamics (MD) is a powerful method widely used in materials science and solid-state physics. The accuracy of MD simulations depends on the quality of the interatomic potentials. In this work, a special class of exact solutions to the equations of motion of atoms in a body-centered cubic (bcc) lattice is analyzed. These solutions take the form of delocalized nonlinear vibrational modes (DNVMs) and can serve as an excellent test of the accuracy of the interatomic potentials used in MD modeling for bcc crystals. The accuracy of the potentials can be checked by comparing the… More >

    Advanced Computational Modeling and Mechanical Behavior Analysis of Multi-Directional Functionally Graded Nanostructures: A Comprehensive Review

    Akash Kumar Gartia, S. Chakraverty*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.142, No.3, pp. 2405-2455, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.061039 - 03 March 2025

    Abstract This review explores multi-directional functionally graded (MDFG) nanostructures, focusing on their material characteristics, modeling approaches, and mechanical behavior. It starts by classifying different types of functionally graded (FG) materials such as conventional, axial, bi-directional, and tri-directional, and the material distribution models like power-law, exponential, trigonometric, polynomial functions, etc. It also discusses the application of advanced size-dependent theories like Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity, nonlocal strain gradient, modified couple stress, and consistent couple stress theories, which are essential to predict the behavior of structures at small scales. The review covers the mechanical analysis of MDFG nanostructures in nanobeams,… More > Graphic Abstract

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.21, No.1, pp. 1-36, 2025, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.058444 - 24 January 2025

    Abstract With the gradual increase in the size and flexibility of composite blades in large wind turbines, problems related to aeroelastic instability and blade vibration are becoming increasingly more important. Given their impact on the lifespan of wind turbines, these subjects have become important topics in turbine blade design. In this article, first aspects related to the aeroelastic (structural and aerodynamic) modeling of large wind turbine blades are summarized. Then, two main methods for blade vibration control are outlined (passive control and active control), including the case of composite blades. Some improvement schemes are proposed More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract For the first time, the linear and nonlinear vibrations of composite rectangular sandwich plates with various geometric patterns of lattice core have been analytically examined in this work. The plate comprises a lattice core located in the middle and several homogeneous orthotropic layers that are symmetrical relative to it. For this purpose, the partial differential equations of motion have been derived based on the first-order shear deformation theory, employing Hamilton’s principle and Von Kármán’s nonlinear displacement-strain relations. Then, the nonlinear partial differential equations of the plate are converted into a time-dependent nonlinear ordinary differential equation… More >

    Abstract The separation-of-variable (SOV) methods, such as the improved SOV method, the variational SOV method, and the extended SOV method, have been proposed by the present authors and coworkers to obtain the closed-form analytical solutions for free vibration and eigenbuckling of rectangular plates and circular cylindrical shells. By taking the free vibration of rectangular thin plates as an example, this work presents the theoretical framework of the SOV methods in an instructive way, and the bisection–based solution procedures for a group of nonlinear eigenvalue equations. Besides, the explicit equations of nodal lines of the SOV methods More >

    Analysis of Fluid-Structure Interaction during Fracturing with Supercritical CO2

    Jiarui Cheng1,*, Yirong Yang1, Sai Ye2, Yucheng Luo1, Bilian Peng1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.12, pp. 2887-2906, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.057056 - 23 December 2024

    Abstract During the implementation of CO2 fracturing for oil and gas development, the force transfer effect caused by the unsteady flow of high-pressure CO2 fluid can lead to forced vibration of the tubing and ensuing structural fatigue. In this study, a forced vibration analysis of tubing under CO2 fracturing conditions is carried out by taking into account the fluid-structure coupling and related interaction forces by means of the method of characteristics (MOC). The results show that for every 1 m3/min increase in pumping displacement, the fluid flow rate increases up to 3.67 m/s. The flow pressure in the… More > Graphic Abstract
