Modelling of Wind-Wave Misalignment for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
Abstract: The influence of the combined effects of wind and waves onto the performance of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) is analyzed. A study of the wind conditions relative to the position of the aerodynamic rotor has been made, analyzing how the angle of incidence of the wind (angle of attack) varies with the wind direction and the inclination of the wind turbine mast as a consequence of the undulatory …

Predictive model of wind turbine rotor-blade deflection
Abstract: A simulation process has been developed to predict wind turbine rotor-blade deflection caused by gravity effects. The model is based on the rotor-blade segmentation in finite elements, each one considered as an independent structure. The simulation has been extended to n-elements to make a more precise approach to the real performance. The range of deformation has been determined for a wind turbine rotor-blade analysing the effects of forces that creates …

Modeling Partially Replacement of Admixtures Influenced by Heterogeneity of Aggregate and Porosities on Variations of Compressive Strength
Abstract: This paper study the heterogeneity of compressive strength of partially replacing cement with different admixtures, the study monitored the heterogeneous application of aggregates in the development of mixed designed concrete model. The heterogeneous aggregates applied developed high percentage of heterogeneous porosities that affects the growth rates of compressive strength on the concrete model, the study examined these process to determined the extend heterogeneity affects other concrete properties on the designed …
