A METHOD BASED ON CLASSICAL LAMINATION THEORY TO CALCULATE STIFFNESS PROPERTIES OF CLOSED COMPOSITE SECTIONS

Structural deformation of composite wind turbine blades affect the aerodynamic performance of the rotor. To design better blades in terms of efficiency, aerodynamic performance and load mitigation, it is crucial to understand how blades act under operational loads. An interdisciplinary research shou...
