Effects of defects in composite wind turbine blades – Part 2: Progressive damage modeling of fiberglass-reinforced epoxy composites with manufacturing-induced waves
Composite wind turbine blades are typically reliable; however, premature failures are often in regions of manufacturing defects. While the use of damage modeling has increased with improved computational capabilities, they are often performed for worst-case scenarios in which damage or defects ar...
