Power Production and Blade Fatigue of a Wind Turbine Array Subjected to Active Yaw Control

This study investigated the power production and blade fatigue of a three-turbine array subjected to active yaw control (AYC) in full-wake and partial-wake configurations. A framework of a two-way coupled large eddy simulation (LES) and an aeroelastic blad ...

Wind Turbine Wakes in Active Yaw Control: Numerical and Theoretical Studies

Mou Lin

In this thesis, we explore the best practice of simulating the wakes of the turbines under active yaw control (AYC) using large-eddy simulation (LES). In the first study, we validate the blade-element actuator disk model (ADM-BE) for a yawed wind turbine. ...

Wind Estimation with Multirotor UAVs

Jan Skaloud, Kilian Meier

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have benefited from a tremendous increase in popularity over the past decade, which has inspired their application toward many novel and unique use cases. One of them is the use of UAVs in meteorological research, in particu ...

Development of a Mechanical Wedge-Barrel Anchor for CFRP Rods: Static and Fatigue Behaviors

Alain Nussbaumer, Masoud Motavalli, Elyas Ghafoori, Hossein Heydarinouri

In this study, a mechanical anchorage for prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods was proposed. The proposed anchorage consisted of a steel barrel with a conical hole and three separate aluminum wedges that are in direct contact with the CF ...

X-Shell Pavilion: A Deployable Elastic Rod Structure

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Tian Chen, Francis Julian Panetta, Etienne Bouleau

We present the X-Shell pavilion, a lightweight structure composed of elastic beam elements joined in a special layout that allows easy on-site deployment. The structure’s undeployed assembly configuration lies mostly flat and is easy to build, consisting o ...

Orographic effects on snow deposition patterns in mountainous terrain

Michael Lehning, Alexis Berne, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Danny Eddy Scipion Castillo

Orographic lifting of air masses and other topographically modified flows induce cloud and precipitation formation at larger scales and preferential deposition of precipitation at smaller scales. In this study, we examine orographic effects on small-scale ...

Contribution to shear wrinkling of GFRP webs in cell-core sandwiches

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Behzad Dehghan Manshadi

Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) cell-core sandwiches are composed of outer GFRP face sheets, a foam core, and a grid of GFRP webs integrated into the core to reinforce the shear load capacity. One of the critical failure modes of cell-core sandwich s ...

Shear wrinkling of GFRP webs in cell-core sanwiches

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Behzad Dehghan Manshadi

Glass fiber-reinforced (GFRP) cell-core sandwich structures are increasingly used in bridge deck and roof construction. GFRP cell-core sandwiches are composed of the outer GFRP face sheets, a foam core and a grid of GFRP webs integrated into the core in or ...

Environmental effects on fatigue behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded structural joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Ye Zhang

The fatigue response of adhesively-bonded pultruded GFRP double-lap joints has been investigated under different environmental conditions. Tests were performed at -35 °C, 23 °C and 40 °C. A fourth set of fatigue data was collected from tests on preconditio ...
