Mechanical and interfacial characterisation of leading‐edge protection materials for wind turbine blade applications
Abstract Modern wind turbine blades experience tip speeds that can exceed 110 m/s. At such speeds, water droplet impacts can cause erosion of the leading edge, which can have a detrimental effect on the performance of the wind turbine blade. More specifically, rain erosion is leading to both reduced...
