Modeling and simulation of the mechanical behavior of a composite blade of a floating wind turbine
Abstract
The present paper employs the finite element method to simulate the behavior of composite wind turbine blade under the effect of different loads. To investigate this situation, a parametric analysis is conducted which deals with aerodynamic effects, the mechanical behavior has been analyzed as both kinematic effects due to deflection of the composite structure and dynamic effect. Finally, Stress distribution dynamic study due to the bending mode of the wind turbine blade is studied
