Abstract

Wind turbine rotor blades are large structures which are designed to withstand extreme loading at low cost. Material and structural characterisation through modeling combined with tests are continuously developed to enable further design optimisation, larger rotors and new design concepts. This paper discusses the latest developments in this research.
