Failure Test and Finite Element Simulation of a Large Wind Turbine Composite Blade under Static Loading

Failure Test and Finite Element Simulation of a Large Wind Turbine Composite Blade under Static Loading

This study presented a failure analysis of a 52.3 m composite wind turbine blade under static loading. Complex failure characteristics exhibited at the transition region of the blade were thoroughly examined and typical failure modes were indentified. In order to predict multiple failure modes obser...
