Finite Element Analysis of Tidal Turbine Blade Subjected to Impact Loads from Sea Animals
The present work investigates structural response of tidal stream turbine blades subjected to impact loads from sea animals. A full-scale tidal turbine blade model was developed using a finite element modelling software ABAQUS, while a simplified geometry of an adult killer whale (<i>Orcinus o...
