A full-scale composite tidal blade fatigue test using single and multiple actuators

In order to perform fatigue testing on tidal turbine blades, it is necessary to apply cyclic loads that do not match the blade's natural frequency. This is due to the high stiffness of the blades and the thermal challenges associated with testing composite materials at frequencies typically aro...
