Zhang, Y. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Watson, S.J. (author)In this paper, the feasibility of using far-field acoustic measurements as a non-contact monitoring technique for wind turbine blade leading edge erosion is assessed. For this purpose, a DU96 W180 airfoil with several eroded leading edge configurations of different severities is experimentally investigated. The eroded leading edges are designed...journal article 2023

Alkhateeb, S. (author), Riccioli, F. (author), Morales, Felipe Leon (author), Pahlavan, Lotfollah (author)Offshore support structures and mooring systems are predominantly subject to corrosion and fatigue. These structures are typically covered with marine growth of various types. Conventional inspection methods for assessment of the structural integrity require access to the cleaned surface of these structures; however, the cleaning process is...journal article 2023

Dimitriou, Dimitris (author), Nastos Konstantopoulos, C. (author), Saravanos, Dimitris (author)A multiresolution finite wavelet domain method, that utilizes Daubechies wavelet and scaling functions for the hierarchical approximation of state variables, is presented. The multiresolution approximation yields a hierarchical set of equations of motion involving the coarse component of generalized displacements, while additional equations...conference paper 2023

Feng, Chengming (author)Deep learning has been widely implemented in industrial inspection, such as damage detection from images. However, training deep networks requires massive data, which is hard to collect and laborious to annotate, especially in the aviation scenario of aircraft engines. To alleviate the demand for annotated data, we create BladeSynth - a large...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Y. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Watson, S.J. (author)In recent years, with the development of the wind power industry and the increase in the number of wind turbines, the condition monitoring of blades and the detection of damage are increasingly important. In this work, a new non-contact damage-detection approach is experimentally investigated based on the measurement of airfoil aerodynamic noise...journal article 2022

Huijer, A.J. (author), Zhang, X. (author), Kassapoglou, C. (author), Pahlavan, Lotfollah (author)Marine propellers made of fibre-reinforced composites have demonstrated the potential to outperform metallic propellers in terms of efficiency and under-water noise radiation. For full realisation of this potential in a tailored design process with realistic constraints, accurate information on the hydrodynamic loads acting on composite...journal article 2022

Izeboud, M. (author), Lhermitte, S.L.M. (author)Areas of structural damage mechanically weaken Antarctic ice shelves. This potentially preconditions ice shelves for disintegration and enhanced grounding line retreat. The development of damage and its feedback on marine ice sheet dynamics has been identified as key to future ice shelf stability and sea level contributions from Antarctica....journal article 2022

Zhou, Yujue (author), Zheng, Yonglai (author), Liu, Yongcheng (author), Pan, Tanbo (author), Zhou, Y. (author)Vibration-based structural damage detection (SDD) has been a subject of intense research in structural health monitoring (SHM) for large civil engineering structures over the decades. The performance of the conventional SDD approaches predominantly relies on the rational choices of the damage feature and classifier. Hand-crafted features or...journal article 2022

Moradi, M. (author), Ghorbani, R. (author), Sfarra, Stefano (author), Tax, D.M.J. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)Assessment of cultural heritage assets is now extremely important all around the world. Non-destructive inspection is essential for preserving the integrity of the artworks while avoiding the loss of any precious materials that make it up. The use of Infrared Thermography (IRT) is an interesting concept since surface and subsurface faults can be...conference paper 2022

Zhang, Y. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Watson, S.J. (author)Recent decades have witnessed more and more wind turbines (WTs) being installed onshore and offshore. Health condition monitoring for WTs structures and components is increasingly becoming a compelling concern for stable power output and operational safety of a wind farm [1]. Blade damages seem to occur with a higher probability ahead of other...abstract 2021

Karamadai Shanmugasundaram, Sharnish (author)Wind energy is one of the cleanest methods of producing electricity. It plays a major role in the transition towards green energy. It is estimated that the installed capacity of wind energy will cover more than 6 % of total global electricity demand by the end of 2019. As the demand grows the requirement for bigger wind turbine also grows. Each...master thesis 2020

Lăpădat, Alexandru Mihai (author)Under urban sprawl the trend of new established complex structures has rapidly increased. In this context little importance has been given to maintenance, even if this represents an important step in combating and avoiding disasters and developing improved future structural designs. Over the last years low-cost Global Navigation Satellite System...master thesis 2020

Rajabzadeh, Aydin (author)Compared to metals, composite materials offer higher stiffness, more resilience to corrosion, have lighter weights, and their mechanical properties can be tailored by their layup configuration. Despite these features, composite materials are susceptible to a diversity of damages, including matrix cracks, delamination, and fibre breakage. If...doctoral thesis 2020

de Bruijn, Janno (author)In the Netherlands there are many bridges that crosses waterways, which are key nodes in the transportation system. The safety and integrity of these bridges is nowadays assessed by (visual) inspections at regular intervals. This approach cannot provide information about damage development in between inspections, leading to potential failure or...master thesis 2019

van der Horst, Bibi (author)Road damage detection is important for road safety and road maintenance planning. Road surface anomalies, like potholes, cracks and ravelling, affect driving conditions, such as driving comfort and safety, noise emission, load loss of trucks, increase of fuel consumption and traffic circulation. Locali- sation of these anomalies allows for...master thesis 2019

Boehmer, Daniel (author)Wind energy plays a major role in the ongoing energy transition. To accelerate the adoption of wind energy and thereby the energy transition, the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) has to be minimized. Apart from increasing turbine performance, reducing turbine down-time can contribute to lowering the LCOE.Down-time is defined as time during which...master thesis 2019
