Evaluation of dual-axis fatigue testing of large wind turbine blades (2012)
Journal Article
Greaves, P., Dominy, R., Ingram, G., Long, H., & Court, G. (2012). Evaluation of dual-axis fatigue testing of large wind turbine blades. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 226(7), 1693-1704. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954406211428013

That testing is usually performed about the flapwise and edgewise axes independently but a new method for resonant fatigue testing has been developed in which the flapwise and edgewise directions are tested simultaneously, thus also allowing the inte...

Prediction of welding distortion in butt joint of thin plates (2009)
Journal Article
Long, H., Gery, D., Carlier, A., & Maropoulos, P. (2009). Prediction of welding distortion in butt joint of thin plates. Materials & Design, 30(10), 4126-4135. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2009.05.004

This paper investigates distortions and residual stresses induced in butt joint of thin plates using Metal Inert Gas welding. A moving distributed heat source model based on Goldak’s double-ellipsoid heat flux distribution is implemented in Finite El...

Three-dimensional transient sealing analysis of the bolted flange connections of reactor pressure vessel (2006)
Journal Article
Lin, T., Li, R., Long, H., & Ou, H. (2006). Three-dimensional transient sealing analysis of the bolted flange connections of reactor pressure vessel. Nuclear Engineering and Design, 236(24), 2599-2607. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nucengdes.2006.03.018

The failure of sealing system of the bolt flange connections is the primary failure mode of the nuclear reactor pressure vessel (RPV). For the safety and integrity of RPV, it is important to predict the sealing behaviour of the bolt flange connection...
