Aeroelasticity is one of the biggest challenges in wind turbine rotor design, as the length of rotor blades increases which comes along with a slenderer design. The knowledge of the aeroelastic turbine behavior is of great ...

An optical fibre-based strain sensor embroidered to a functionalised carbon structure (FCS) that can be used for structural health monitoring (SHM) is introduced. The aim of the design is not only to monitor strain, but ...
