Thermal and Acoustic Properties of Flax and Hemp Epoxy Bio-Composites Fabricated Using Vacuum-Assisted Resin Infusion Moulding

Synthetic fibre composites deliver high mechanical performance at a substantial energy and carbon cost, motivating a shift to renewable reinforcements. Flax and hemp are credible candidates, but their uptake is constrained by thermal stability and inherent combustibility, and the...

Hybrid CNN-GRU framework for wind turbine blade defect classification and data-driven severity assessment for predictive maintenance

Abstract The integrity of wind turbine blades is essential for the continuous production of renewable energy. If left unchecked, surface pollution and fissures hasten structural deterioration, lower aerodynamic efficiency, and result in catastrophic blade failure with serious saf...
