The development process of a glass-fabric composite wind turbine blade is presented. A finite element model is constructed for the design and stress analysis of the wind blade. The wind blade parts were fabricated using the vacuum-bag molding technique. The assembling process of the wind blade is described in detail. The wind blade was tested to validate the suitability of the design. The finite element method is used to predict the failure wind loads of the wind blade.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
