Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate various composite materials that have been applied in wind turbine blades.Α computational study on a GE 1.5 XLE wind turbine blade with different composite materials was performed. The computational evaluations from the fluent analysis have been used in order to calculate the equivalent (Von-Mises) stress, shear stress, and displacements of a wind turbine blade. The proposed study results in useful and interesting conclusions for the stress and displacement fields that arise in blades with different materials and under different loading conditions.
期刊介绍:
WSEAS Transactions on Applied and Theoretical Mechanics publishes original research papers relating to computational and experimental mechanics. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of these particular areas. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with fluid-structure interaction, impact and multibody dynamics, nonlinear dynamics, structural dynamics and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
