Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Yan, Jiquan (author), Hu, Weifei (author), Jiang, Zhiyu (author), Shi, Wei (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)A fiber-reinforced composite wind turbine blade (WTB) is exposed to numerous impact threats during its service life causing damages that can be detrimental to its structural integrity. Currently, impact loads are not considered during blade design, so high safety factors are introduced, which result in a conservative design. However, as wind...review 2023
