On the structural response of two‐ and three‐bladed vertical axis wind turbines

Abstract Vertical axis wind turbines have suffered from the periodic nature of the aerodynamic loads and early efforts at commercialization were plagued by fatigue issues resulting from an inability to anticipate critical resonances. This paper examines the criteria for determining whether intersect...
