... computing wind turbines blades laminates finite element analysis power engineering computing shear strength Static failure of a wind turbine blade can result from exceeding the strength of the material or the buckling stability of the structure ( 1 ). Buckling is often the critical parameter...

... studied optimizing the blade structure simultaneously considering the angle of off-axis material, the fraction of off-axis material, constraints on cross-fiber and in-plane shear strength, constraints on tip deflection, and blade cost. A parametric study has been conducted varying the angle of off-axis...
