Diffused acoustic fields exist during the operation in wind turbine blades because of consistent and stochastic loads and the aerodynamic noise generated from turbulent pressure fields. The Green’s function can be extracted from an ensemble average of the cross-correlations of signals recorded from two passive sensors within the diffused acoustic field. Here the wave fields reconstructed are multimodal and dispersive, which makes their extraction challenging. The causal and anti-causal Green’s function is estimated by taking the derivative of the ensemble average of cross correlation. This method was studied experimentally using a wind turbine test blade (CX-100) located at the UCSD’s Powell Structural Laboratories. A diffuse field was approximated by exciting the skin of the blade with a random signal at several locations using an electrodynamic shaker. The reconstructed Green’s function estimate is compared to experimentally measured impulse response functions. The use of various features of the reconstructed Green’s function for potential applications to structural health monitoring of wind turbine blades is discussed.

In the absence of strong motion records at the future construction sites, different theoretical and semi-empirical approaches are used to estimate the initial seismic vibrations of the soil. If there are records of weak earthquakes on the site and the parameters of the fault that generates the calculated earthquake are known, then the empirical Green’s function can be used. Initially, the empirical Green’s function method in the formulation of Irikura was applied for main shock record modelling using its aftershocks under the following conditions: the magnitude of the weak event is only 1–2 units smaller than the magnitude of the main shock; the focus of the weak event is localized in the focal region of a strong event, hearth, and it should be the same for both events. However, short-termed local instrumental seismological investigation, especially on seafloor, results usually with weak microearthquakes recordings. The magnitude of the observed micro-earthquakes is much lower than of the modeling event (more than 2). To test whether the method of the empirical Green’s function can be applied under these conditions, the accelerograms of the main shock of the earthquake in L'Aquila (6.04.09) with a magnitude Mw = 6.3 were modelled. The microearthquake with ML = 3,3 (21.05.2011) and unknown origin mechanism located in mainshock’s epicentral zone was used as the empirical Green’s function. It was concluded that the empirical Green’s function is to be preprocessed. The complex Fourier spectrum smoothing by moving average was suggested. After the smoothing the inverses Fourier transform results with new Green’s function. Thus, not only the amplitude spectrum is smoothed out, but also the phase spectrum. After such preliminary processing, the spectra of the calculated accelerograms and recorded correspond to each other much better. The modelling demonstrate good results within frequency range 0,1–10 Hz, considered usually for engineering seismological studies.
