Abstract:Utilizing a fatigue-rated multi-axial strong-floor based test rig, the effect of a retro-fitted fish-mouth third shear-web geometry detail located within the double-curved trailing edge sandwich panels are evaluated in an inner 15m root section from a 34m wind turbine blade manufactured by SSP Technology. From previous research, a load configuration is identified, capable of triggering the breathing/pumping deformations in the trailing edge panels within the root and transition zone, which will drive the propa… Show more
