The main damages during the lifetime of a wind turbine are caused by: General Wear Delamination can happen in wind blades, where a detachment of the intra and extrados shellscan be seen. Usually associated with leading edge erosion. Fatigue Loads It is the phenomenon of progressive rupture of materials subjected to repeated cycles of stress…
Peel-ply fabrics are indispensable materials in the manufacturing process of wind turbine blades. Peel ply is the name of the synthetic fabric that is placed on the surface of the composite of fibers and resin, in the vacuum infusion process or vacuum bag. Peel ply fabrics are generally made of polyamide (nylon) or polyester, in…
