Most small–medium-sized turbine studies have focused on presenting new design methods and corresponding performance improvements rather than detailed dynamic investigations. This paper presents comprehensive investigations of a straight swept-back blade for 100 kW by performing modal analysis, load flutter analysis. The considered cases include steady wind operational conditions under normal ex...

A new algorithm based on the sweep plane approach to determine the machined part geometry in 5-axis machining with general APT tools is presented. Undercut and overcut can be determined. Collision detection between the toolholder, workpiece and workpiece fixture can also be detected. The subtraction of the removed material is obtained for each sweep plane by using a stencil buffer. A flat plane...

A linear, aeroelastic analysis of a low aspect ratio swept back trapezoidal wing modeled as a cantilever plate is presented. An analytical and numerical formulation for both the aerodynamic forcing and structural response of the wing was developed. The analytical model uses a three dimensional time domain vortex lattice aerodynamic method. A Rayleigh-Ritz approach has been used to transfer equa...

We demonstrate a frequency comb (FC) swept laser and a frequency comb Fourier domain mode locked (FC-FDML) laser for applications in optical coherence tomography (OCT). The fiber-based FC swept lasers operate at a sweep rate of 1kHz and 120kHz, respectively over a 135nm tuning range centered at 1310nm with average output powers of 50mW. A 25GHz free spectral range frequency comb filter in the s...
