The aeroelastic coupling effect is playing an increasingly important role in the aerodynamic and aeroelastic characteristics of wind turbine blades owing to the increasing size of modern wind turbines. Concurrently, periodic unsteady inflows, including the wind shear (WS), tower shadow (TS), and yaw...
