03 Feb 2005TL;DR: In this paper, a method for preparing a wind turbine blade shell member comprising a plurality of elements (8) of cured fibre-reinforced sheet material is provided, where a resin is introduced between the elements of cured fiber reinforced sheet material and the elements are bonded to adjacent elements by curing the resin.
Abstract: A method for preparing a wind turbine blade shell member (2) comprising a plurality of elements (8) of cured fibre-reinforced sheet material is provided.. A plurality of elements of cured fibre-reinforced sheet material is provided in a mould, a resin is introduced between the elements of cured fibre-reinforced sheet material and the elements are bonded to adjacent elements by curing the resin. The method is particularly suitable for preparing wind turbine blade shell members due to the complex three-dimensional shape of the airfoils, which may be resembled by the relatively flexible cured fibre-reinforced sheet material.

TL;DR: In this article, free vibration tests are analyzed to evaluate the eigenfrequencies of offshore monopile wind turbine foundations and the stiffness of saturated soil due to pore water flow generated by cyclic motion of monopiles is investigated using the concept of a Kelvin model.

19 Mar 2003TL;DR: In order to transport large size windmill towers, the invention suggests a steel tower for a windmill, comprising a number of cylindrical or tapered tower sections, at least the wider sections of which are subdivided into two or more elongated shell segments, which combine into a complete tower section by means of vertical flanges tightened together, e.g., by bolts as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: In order to transport large size windmill towers, the invention suggests a steel tower ( 1 ) for a windmill, comprising a number of cylindrical or tapered tower sections ( 2 ), at least the wider sections ( 2 ) of which being subdivided into two or more elongated shell segments ( 3 ), which combine into a complete tower section ( 2 ) by means of vertical flanges ( 6 ) tightened together, e.g., by bolts ( 10 ), said shells being also provided with upper and lower horizontal flanges ( 4 ), respectively, to allow interconnection of tower sections ( 2 ) one on top of the other.

15 Apr 2003TL;DR: In this article, a method of servicing the outer components of a wind turbine such as the wind turbine blades and the tower with a work platform is proposed, this method comprises the steps of: positioning the work platform at the turbine tower and connecting the work platforms to an upper part of the wind turbines with at least one cable.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of servicing the outer components of a wind turbine such as the wind turbine blades and the tower with a work platform, said method comprises the steps of: positioning the work platform at the wind turbine tower and connecting the work platform to an upper part of the wind turbine with at least one cable. Further the method comprises the steps of raising the work platform with the cable and cable winding means to a position of use, and holding the work platform to the side of the wind turbine tower with holding means. The invention also relates to a work platform for servicing the outer components of a wind turbine.
