Abstract In a wind turbine blade, laminated plates consisting of fiber reinforced plastic materials are generally used due to its high specific strength. We have been developing a large-scale finite element solver to analyze the wind turbine blade structure. For such a structure, the laminated finite element is frequently used in modeling. Each laminated finite element has multiple layers, each of which is an orthotropic body in order to model the layered fiber reinforced materials with different fiber directions. Also, since a realistic wind turbine blade structure generally requires a large number of finite elements for discretization, we adopted a domain… More >
