Load Carrying Capacity of a Hot Rolled Wing

Author(s) : PATRICK KAEDING, THOMAS LINDEMANN

Abstract

Wind turbine blades are mostly made of fibre reinforced plastics. However, in particular for the part connected to the hub steel may be used for large turbines in the future. A 3-dimensional rolling process was developed for such wing profiles, which are rolled to shape and thickness in one step. This paper deals with a practical way to access the load carrying capacity of hot rolled steel parts and to give a simple material model for design purpose. Based on systematic finite element analyses, which are compared to a 3-point bending experiment, the parameters for a bilinear material model are derived. The material model shall be suitable to reproduce the overall behaviour of the steel component so that accurate analyses are possible for structural design.
