Objective
A program enabling development of damped wind turbine blades is proposed. Unique composite damping mechanisms will be exploited: tailoring of laminate damping anisotropy, damping layers and damped polymer matrices. Novel composite damping models and damping finite elements, aero elastic tools, and fatigue-life models will be developed. Material engineering and characterization will be conducted. A unified blade design capability will be established enabling direct improvements in aero elastic performance. Two prototype-damped blades will be designed, fabricated and tested. A rotor will be manufactured and field-tested to demonstrate aero elastic improvements. The project will provide unique aero elastic and life prediction capabilities by providing missing composite damping models. Damped blades will contribute towards development of large W/Ts, by helping to overcome current "bottleneck" problems related to aero elastic stability.
