Spectral Finite Element Method for Propagation of Guided Elastic Waves in Wind Turbine Blades for SHM Purposes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Certain results of numerical simulations obtained by the use of the spectral finite element method in time domain are presented by the authors. They were selected in order to show the effectiveness of the spectral finite element method for investigation of problems associated with propagation of guided elastic waves in a wind turbine laminated composite blade. Results of these simulations were subsequently evaluated in order to detect and localise simulated damage in the form of cracks or delaminations.

In this paper a non-destructive method for inspecting jet-engine turbine blades for root cracking is developed. This method utilises 2D ultrasonic arrays to enable the detection and characterisation of sub-surface cracks in three-dimensions. The majority of modern turbine blades are manufactured from single crystals of nickel based superalloys which exhibit high elastic anisotropy. This complic...
متن کاملUltrasonic NDT of wind turbine blades using guided waves
In order fully to exploit energy of wind power the construction elements of the wind turbine should be inspected periodically. Ultrasonic air-coupled technique using guided waves has been selected for inspection of wind turbine blades, because only one side access is enough and no contact is needed. Dispersion curves of phase velocities as well as leakage losses versus frequency were calculated...
