Materials for Wind Turbine Blades: An Overview.
Leon Mishnaevsky,Kim Branner,Helga Nørgaard Petersen,Justine Beauson,Malcolm McGugan,Bent F. Sørensen +5 more
TL;DR: Apart from the traditional composites for wind turbine blades, natural composites, hybrid and nanoengineered composites are discussed and their testing and modelling approaches are reviewed.
Fundamentals for remote structural health monitoring of wind turbine blades - a preproject. Annex E. Full-scale test of wind turbine blade, using sensors and NDT
Fundamentals for remote structural health monitoring of wind turbine blades - a preproject
Bent F. Sørensen,L. Lading,P. Sendrup,Malcolm McGugan,C.P. Debel,O.J.D. Kristensen,Gunner Chr. Larsen,A.M. Hansen,J. Rheinländer,J. Rusborg,J.D. Vestergaard +10 more
TL;DR: The basic technical knowledge is established to evaluate whether remote surveillance of the rotor blades of large off-shore wind turbines has technical and economical potential and a cost-benefit analysis was developed, showing that it is economically attractive to use sensors embedded in the blade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damage tolerance and structural monitoring for wind turbine blades.
Malcolm McGugan,Gilmar Ferreira Pereira,Bent F. Sørensen,Helmuth Langmaack Toftegaard,Kim Branner +4 more
TL;DR: By improving the understanding of material properties that control damage propagation it will be possible to combine damage tolerant structural design, monitoring systems, inspection techniques and modelling to manage the life cycle of the structures, leading to a more effective exploitation of offshore wind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method for independent strain and temperature measurement in polymeric tensile test specimen using embedded FBG sensors
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-parameter measurement method was applied to an epoxy tensile specimen, tested in a unidirectional tensile test machine with a temperature controlled cabinet.
