Fu, Qiang (author), Yi, Sinan (author), Chen, B. Y. (author), Bui, Tinh Quoc (author), Hu, Xiaofei (author), Yao, Weian (author)Numerical study on crack propagation are of great importance for structure design and assessment. In this contribution, the floating node method (FNM) is combined with the symplectic analytical singular element (SASE) to form a new crack-tip element. The four node quadrilateral crack-tip element contains a SASE for the crack tip area to...journal article 2020

Hu, Weifei (author), Chen, Weiyi (author), Wang, Xiaobo (author), Jiang, Zhiyu (author), Wang, Yeqing (author), Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)The rain-induced fatigue damage in the wind turbine blade coating has attracted increasing attention owing to significant repair and maintenance costs. The present paper develops an improved computational framework for analyzing the wind turbine blade coating fatigue induced by rain erosion. The paper first presents an extended stochastic...journal article 2021
