Improved Material Formulations for Thick Adhesive Joints in Wind Turbine Blades

Jialiang Fan

Wind turbine rotor blades are usually fabricated using composite materials and epoxy adhesive to bond the elements together. Due to their large size, the thickness of the adhesive layer varies from 1 to up to 30 mm depending on the position. The failure of ...
