SUBCOMPONENT TESTING OF TRAILING EDGE PANELS IN WIND TURBINE BLADES

Kim Branner (Technical University of Denmark) Peter Berring (Technical University of Denmark) Philipp Ulrich Haselbach (Technical University of Denmark)

 

This paper proposes a static subcomponent test method designed to check the compressive strength of the trailing edge region in wind turbine blades. The aim is that the method can be in certification according to the new DNV GL rotor blade standard.

TOWARDS RAIN EROSION CHARACTERIZATION OF WIND TURBINE BLADE COATINGS: EFFECT OF THE IN-MOULD CURING CONDITIONS ON THE COATING-LAMINATE INTERPHASE

Enrique Cortés (Aerox Advanced Polymers) Fernando Sánchez (University CEU Cardenal Herrera) Trevor M. Young (Univeristy of Limerick) Anthony O'Carroll (Univeristy of Limerick) David Busquets (Universidad Politécnica de Valencia) Francisco Chinesta (Ecole Centrale Nantes)

 

Erosion damage is a major concern, be caused by rain droplet impact on the leading edges of the wind turbine blades. An investigation has been conducted to relate the in-mould curing of the coating on the interphase coat-laminate and the resulting rain erosion durability of the component.

FAILURE MODES OF CARBON FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER PLATE - STEEL JOINTS WITH DUCTILE OR BRITTLE ADHESIVES

Guijun Xian (School of Civil Engineering) Jun He (School of Civil Engineering)

 

The failure mode of the FRP-steel joint depends on the relative strain between the CFRP and adhesives. When the adhesive possesses a low strain, the CFRP delamination failure tended to occur. A prediction model of maximum shear stress is proposed.
