Structural analysis of offshore wind turbine blades using finite element method - Hicham Boudounit, Mostapha Tarfaoui, Dennoun Saifaoui, Mourad Nachtane, 2019
Wind energy is one among the most promising renewable energy sources, and hence there is fast growth of wind energy farm implantation over the last decade, which is expected to be even faster in the coming years. Wind turbine blades are complex structures considering the different scientific fields involved in their study. Indeed, the study of blade performance involves fluid mechanics (aerodynamic study), solids mechanics (the nature of materials, the type of solicitations …), and the fluid coupling structure (IFS).....
