The Role and Impact of Coated Bearings in Wind Turbines: A Review

Rolling bearings in modern wind turbines operate under demanding tribological conditions that include high contact stresses, mixed lubrication, transient loads, electrical discharge, corrosion, and hydrogen-assisted damage. These factors contribute to premature failures such as micropitting, scuffing, white etching cra...

Degradation of Exhaust Valves in Medium-Speed Marine Diesel Engines: An Evidence-Tiered Review of Materials, Surface Engineering, and Qualification

Exhaust valves in medium-speed marine diesel engines experience coupled combustion heating, intermittent seat cooling, repeated impact and microslip, deposit-assisted corrosion, and prolonged service. Their degradation therefore cannot be explained or qualified using a single room-temperature property. This review orga...

A Review of Numerical Modeling of Internal Flow, Cavitation, Erosion, and Flow-induced Vibration in Hydropower Valves

Hydropower valves operate under transient, high-pressure conditions in which local throttling, pressure recovery, vortex evolution, and pressure pulsation govern hydraulic performance, cavitation, erosion, and flow-induced vibration. This review synthesizes recent advances in numerical modeling of these coupled phenome...

Upcycling of Decommissioned Wind Turbine Blades: An Investigation of Stress Distributions in Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymers Beams

Wind turbines are among the most widely adopted renewable energy systems, yet the end-of-life management of wind turbine blades remains a major challenge. The turbine blades are primarily made of glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP), which are difficult to recycle without degrading their inherent structural integrity...
