A comprehensive review of wind turbine aeroelasticity is given. The aerodynamic part starts
with the simple aerodynamic Blade Element Momentum Method and ends with giving a …

A nonlinear intrinsic formulation for the dynamics of initially curved and twisted beams in a
moving frame is presented. The equations are written in a compact matrix form without any …

The paper presents results obtained for limit-cycle oscillations (LCOs) in high-aspect-ratio
wings caused by structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities. The analysis is based on …

To utilize beam flexures in constraint-based flexure mechanism design, it is important to
develop qualitative and quantitative understanding of their constraint characteristics in terms …

This paper describes a multibody dynamics approach to the modeling of rotorcraft systems
and reviews the key aspects of the simulation procedure. The multibody dynamics analysis …

The aeroelastic response and the airloads of horizontal-axis wind turbine rotor blades were
numerically investigated using a coupled CFD–CSD method. The blade aerodynamic loads …

In this paper a new anisotropic beam finite element for composite wind turbine blades is
developed and implemented into the aeroelastic nonlinear multibody code, HAWC2 …

The non-planar responses of a cantilevered beam subject to lateral harmonic baseexcitation
are investigated using two non-linear coupled integrodifferential equations of motion. The …

Wind energy is a promising renewable energy source that can contribute to addressing the
