Developing an effective blade structural health monitoring (SHM) system is important for the wind energy industry. This has challenged the scientific communities for years, and still, the problem has not been solved. This research aims to find a solution to this problem and provi ...
Wind turbine blades carry the risk of impact damage during transportation, installation, and operation. Such impacts can cause levels of damage that can propagate throughout the structure compromising performance and safety. In this study, the effect of impact damage on fatigue d ...
In this paper, a new indicator to localize fatigue damage in a fibre glass composite structure, i.e. spar cap to shear web thick adhesive joint of a wind turbine blade, is presented. This indicator is based on the effect of damping on the phase of the mode shapes of the structure ...
Wind turbine blade spar cap to shear web adhesively bonded connections can suffer from damage at the bond-line which can propagate through the structure compromising blade integrity. This study investigates changes in the stiffness and damping of a thick adhesive joint test speci ...
The adhesively-bonded connections in a wind turbine blade, e.g. the spar cap to shear web joins, are key elements for the structural integrity of the blade. These joins can suffer from damage at the bond-line which can propagate through the structure and compromise the operation ...
