Selectively Reinforced Functionally Graded Composite-like Glass/Carbon Polymer Nanocomposites: Designed for Efficient Bending and Impact Performance

Offshore wind turbine blades (OWTBs) are exposed to various types of loadings during their service life. Moreover, due to their tremendous size, huge investment costs are established, including advanced engineering materials and production process solutions. To decrease their investment cost without sacrificing their mechanical performances, advanced engineering solutions in the view of material selection and design should be implemented. With...
