The paradigm of renewable energies brings a number of challenges to be solved in a short-term period. In the case of wind energy, it turns necessary to relocate onshore wind-farms in both offshore coastal regions and urban ...

We investigate the evolution of convective instability in a LiBr-water binary mixture, driven by thermal and solutal Marangoni stresses, through numerical simulations. A small perturbation in absorption at the surface ...

El vidrio es ampliamente utilizado en aplicaciones estructurales, estando presente en sectores como el sector de la automoción o el sector de la construcción. El comportamiento estructural del vidrio depende principalmente ...

Fatigue life estimation methods based on time-domain and rainflow counting techniques are widely recognised and accepted for their reliability. However, applying them in scenarios involving random loads with multiple ...

Large-scale experimental programmes become unavoidable to characterise the fracture behaviour of glass. Additionally, if non-uniform residual stresses are to be considered, the total effort required increases significantly. ...

The present paper presents a preliminary study on the structural integrity analysis of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) platforms, using different methods to compute hydrodynamic loads and determine the deformation ...
