Investigation of the Causes of Premature Rain Erosion Evolution in Rotor Blade-like GFRP Structures by Means of CT, XRM, and Active Thermography

Investigation of the Causes of Premature Rain Erosion Evolution in Rotor Blade-like GFRP Structures by Means of CT, XRM, and Active Thermography

Premature rain erosion damage development at the leading edges of wind turbine rotor blades impair the efficiency of the turbines and should be detected as early as possible. To investigate the causes of premature erosion damage and the erosion evolution, test specimens similar to the leading edge o...
