The accurate prediction of stress histories for the fatigue analysis is of utmost importance for the design process of wind turbine rotor blades. As detailed, transient, and geometrically non-linear three-dimensional finite ...

Zur Gewährleistung einer hohen Verfügbarkeit werden in modernen Windkraftanlagen (WKAs) verstärkt Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) verbaut. CMS bestehen aus einer Vielzahl an Sensoren, die den Zustand der unterschiedlichen ...

Wind turbine rotor blades are huge and complex composite structures that are exposed to exceptionally high loads, both extreme and fatigue loads. These can result in damages causing severe downtimes or repair costs. It is ...
