Abstract:
The aerospace plane is an innovative kind of reusable aircraft, which is able to reach the low earth orbit flying like the conventional plane. Two kinds of aerospace plane wing structures are designed and parameterized for the delta wing with a strake, one of which is an equal percentage multi-web structure, and the other is a parallel multi-web structure. The two types of structure layouts were analyzed in the subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic conditions using the finite element method. Contrasting the strength and stiffness characteristics, and estimating the structure weight,

Abstract:
A structural engineering approach to the pleated wings of Odonata has been developed during a functional study of wing morphology in the group. The wing can be regarded as a folded plate structure within which each pleat-side acts as a deep plate-girder. Small cross-veins act as stiffeners within the girders, allowing the membrane to carry web shearing forces as pure tension, through a stressed-skin effect. Bending experiments confirm that the membrane significantly increases the rigidity of wing components. The properties of the membrane are unknown. It lacks birefringence, is very thin, and

One of the most crucial objective in designing aircraft structures is to ensure their strength while meeting the requirement for minimal weight. In operation, the structure must withstand loads without failure, as well as be designed with the lowest possible weight and, in most cases, volume.The determined geometric model of the structure based on the minimum weight criteria, reduces the overall weight of the aircraft which leads to: reducing the power requirements of the engine, and thus the cost of the aircraft; decreasing fuel consumption, making the aircraft cheaper in operation.The weight

In this paper we address the problem of formalizing content of the wine domain within a more general ontological context and concentrate on the adjective-noun constructions. For our research we have selected data from the web and have faced the recent evaluative adjectives introduced to describe wine these days. We show how some language uses convey aspects of meaning that should be coded as part of the lexical semantics of the noun “wine”, since understanding some metaphors is only possible if some conventional activities related to wine are considered. For this purpose, we have chosen Pustejovsky’s Qualia Structures and have suggested Conventionalized Attributes (CA) as a means to represent hidden meanings that are the bases for the correct interpretation of new metaphorical uses.

AbstractThe effective application of lightweight stay-in-place concrete forms for casting shear walls subjected to wind and seismic loading is of particular concern to practitioners. Insufficient technical data available for new kinds of wall systems, such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) form walls, hinder their implementation in construction practice. To that end, an effective experimental and numerical campaign was launched at Western Sydney University to investigate the structural performance of PVC form walls when subjected to in-plane shear loading. A set of push-out specimens was designated to conduct monotonic in-plane shear tests until failure. All failure phenomena, capping strengths, and ductility capacities were monitored. Test results indicated that the embedded PVC latticed webs could efficiently protect the concrete web from sudden crushing and improve ductility capacity and failure pattern of the specimens. Nonlinear finite element analysis on test specimens was also conducted and good correlation with experiment results was achieved.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the connections between the Chinese communities in Indonesia and the Chinese Nationalist government as well as the evolving structure of international relations in the Asia-Pacific after World War II. It argues that the Chinese Nationalist government's lack of sympathy for Indonesia's struggle for independence and its insistence on exercising jurisdiction over the Chinese in Indonesia aggravated ethnic conflicts. Claimed as citizens by both the ROC and the Republic of Indonesia but protected by neither, the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia exercised their own agency by organizing self-defense forces in collaboration with the Dutch or turning to support the Indonesian nationalists. While the Chinese Nationalists could rely on formal institutions in Indonesia, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established its support base through an informal web of personal connections centered on left-leaning writers, teachers, and journalists who migrated from Mainland China. These left-wing intellectuals inspired a generation of ethnic Chinese youth and motivated them to engage in politics.

Full text
Abstract:
In the previous chapter, the malleability of Danish energy policy was highlighted as a key factor behind the successful diffusion of wind power in Denmark. This chapter examines wind power diffusion in Germany, and in the process highlights a different, though equally successful policy ideology. Compared to policy of its Nordic neighbor, wind power development policy in Germany has been far more structured and invariable. In fact, the success of Germany’s wind power development strategy often serves as an exemplar for proponents of consistent feed-in tariff regimes, which is considered by some to be the most effective strategy for driving wind power development. As this chapter will demonstrate, fostering wind power development in Germany is, like in other nations, a complex challenge involving dynamic interactions between government and nongovernment actors. As German wind power capacity expanded, there has been social dissent and utility opposition. Nevertheless, the German government has remained committed to aggressive wind power diffusion policies and has responded to emergent challenges in a remarkably unified manner wherein state, regional, and local government actors have formed integrated problem-solving networks. This chapter also highlights the seamless web of nation-specific STEP factors influencing wind power development that is apparent in Germany. As one pair of researchers observed, wind power development in Germany has been marked by “close interplay between the actors within the political system, technical and economic development, as well as social factors.” As has been the case in most industrialized nations, forces in support of wind power development began to amass during the two energy crises of the 1970s. As the government began to evaluate its alternative energy technology options, nuclear power and wind power emerged as the two most viable utility-scale options. In the 1970s, nuclear power in Germany enjoyed a modicum of developmental success. The nation’s first commercial nuclear power plant commenced operation in 1969. By 2010, nuclear power contributed approximately 22% to Germany’s electricity supply. However, nuclear power development has been contentious. Although there has been industrial support, there has also been strident public opposition, especially since Chernobyl.

Abstract:
In the contemporary global context, a significant transformative process is currently unfolding on a global scale. The ongoing revolution is causing a transformation in the lifestyles of individuals, leading to significant disruptions in traditional business structures and established processes. Like many other businesses, the power sector is currently experiencing a significant transformation. The power sector is undergoing transformation due to various factors like the adoption of distributed energy sources, the proliferation of electric vehicles, the implementation of advanced metering and communication infrastructure, the utilization of management algorithms, the implementation of energy efficiency efforts, and the integration of new digital solutions. In recent years, there has been a growing utilization of artificial intelligence approaches to tackle issues related to renewable energy due to its ability to effectively handle intricate nonlinear data structures. The prospective acceleration of worldwide renewable energy adoption in the future through technological advancements. Currently, artificial intelligence (AI) is the primary catalyst for the rapid technological revolution. To fully harness the potential of wind power, it is imperative that wind turbines exhibit optimal efficiency in converting energy. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of AI-based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques in the context of wind energy systems. The impact of working conditions on yield is noteworthy due to the increasing sophistication of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in response to unforeseen fluctuations in wind speed conditions. Attaining the optimal yield is frequently a formidable task. MPPT controllers are receiving significant interest due to this phenomenon. This article provides a comprehensive examination of both Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) as utilized in the context of Wind Energy Systems (WES). This study elucidates the commonly adopted ways to optimize yield under diverse scenarios. Both Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) can be utilized as alternatives to conventional methods for control and optimization purposes. The selection and evaluation of both approaches are dependent on the specific application at hand. Statistical data is provided regarding both the existing methodologies employed in this subject, as well as their potential future advancements. The completion of a comprehensive bibliography, the provision of proposals for further research, and the emergence of other issues have transpired. Ultimately, this platform holds potential value for future research in wind power systems, serving as a valuable resource for scholars, energy planners, and lawmakers

Abstract:
This project aims to develop a method for wind turbine blade (WTB) inspection using machine learning and computer vision that would allow early detection and diagnosis of structural faults in WTBs, aiding in condition-based maintenance in the industry. At present, the industry relies on the use of manual inspections of blades for fault detection and diagnosis. The use of drones for inspection has been proven for bridges and dams and is in the process of being implemented in the OSW industry. However, current methods of inspection require huge volumes of data and labour-intensive pre-processing. This project aims to utilise machine learning methods, to reduce human input required in the detection and diagnosis of faults in WTBs. This will consist of developing a set of novel computer vision algorithms that can achieve high accuracies of fault detection and classification from limited datasets to introduce prior knowledge into the learning process.

Abstract:
University of Würzburg (1965–1973). The town of Würzburg, built originally at a ford and later a bridge across the river Main, a tributary to the Rhine and later connected to the Danube, has been an overland and ship traffic hub between the commercial centers of Nuremberg and Frankfurt for more than two millennia. Because the steep hill slopes of the valley extending down to the river are protected against the cool and wet winds, the town has a mild climate which allowed it to become the center of the only major wine-growing area in the Fee State of Bavaria. As one of the early sees of a prince bishop who ruled this part of Frankonia for about 1,000 years right into the 18thcentury, the town holds a rich collection of famous historical buildings. Unfortunately, the city was destroyed up to about 80% in an ill-famous Anglo-American air-raid in early 1945, only a few weeks before the end of World War II, which caused a fierce and devastating firestorm in the city of old wooden framework buildings. Würzburg has thus shared this fate with Dresden, which also has never been the same again even though enormous efforts were made to restore many of the original structures. The impressive Romanesque cathedral and most of the many Baroque and Rococo churches have been rebuilt and together with the renovated monumental castle on the hill and the residence in town they are again major tourist attractions as World Cultural Heritages. …

Abstract:
This research work summarizes the study of the structural analysis of shear webs (present in wind turbine blades, sometimes also called as spars) with holes. The webs are sandwich composite structures which are supposed to carry the shear loads coming from the wind pressure and the holes are necessary for non-structural requirements of the wind turbine. The shear webs are strong structures and it is tough to test them to failure in the lab. Hence a structural representative component with lesser dimensions has been tested in the lab to accommodate the capability of the test machines. However,

Abstract:
Abstract As wind turbine blades become larger, the impact of edgewise gravity loads becomes increasingly critical. One significant problem related to these loads is known as “breathing,” which is the cyclic out-of-plane motion of the trailing edge panels. Breathing can cause several issues in wind turbine blades, including increased peel stresses in the adhesive joint at the trailing edge and in severe cases, result in trailing edge splitting. Despite its importance, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of breathing and its effect on the blade’s trailing edge fatigue performance. Thi
