Description
Clicking on “Reading Material” will download the materials I want you to listen to or read during the summer. This includes a word file that has links to some good videos, and 4 published research papers.
During the rest of the summer, write a summary or reflection report on:
Any of the “How do Wind Turbines work?” videos: link can be found in the Word file (Up to a page).
The “Wind Turbines” 60-second videos: link can be found in the Word file (Up to a page).
7 videos in “Engineering with Rosie” video series: link can be found in the Word file (2-page for all of them, not each).
Review paper: “Wind turbine blade design” (Energies journal, 2012) (2-page)
A research paper: “A zero torsional stiffness twist morphing blade as a wind turbine load alleviation device” (Smart Materials and Structures journal, 2013) (2-page)
A research paper: “Field testing of morphing flaps on a wind turbine blade using an outdoor rotating rig” (Renewable Energy journal, 2019) (2-page)
A research paper: “Performance analysis of a small wind turbine equipped with flexible blades” (Renewable Energy journal, 2019) (2-page)
So the report that you will submit by the end of the first week of the fall semester will be 12-page. Use Times New Roman fond, size 12, Normal margins, and feel free to include any figures from the papers in your report.
