In a research project fatigue tests on two identical wing sections that are used as representative substitute components were performed to estimate lifetime enhancement of light-weight aircraft such as general aviation gliders. Single step fatigue tests at limit load on one component were compared with spectrum loading on the other. A characteristic damage behaviour was observed. Local buckling due to high shear loading of the sandwich core of the wing shell causes the main damage. Even though an intentionally high load level was chosen no increase of micro-cracking could be detected. Additionally no delamination effects in laminates or bondings were observed except the skin-core delamination which causes the buckling effect in the wing shell due to fatigue loading. Finally the concept of using representative substructures and accompanying specimen tests is an effective approach for in-service loading investigations and could also be applied to research on wind turbine blades.
Structural health monitoring of wind turbine blades by strain measurement and vibration analysis
(2011)
Wind turbine blades have to withstand a high number of load cycles in mostly hard weather conditions over 20 years. In a research project BAM and several partners have designed, evaluated and tested a condition monitoring system for all parts of a wind turbine. At a rotorblade with a length of 58 m fibre bragg grating sensors were applied for in-service strain measurement. Additionally a complex test rig was designed to enable real biaxial loading conditions at a representative test rotor blade to simulate the mechanical loading conditions in the lab. In this test blade with a length of 8 m also fibre bragg grating sensors were implemented to determine their influences for the structure and the condition monitoring system. Vibration measurements were carried out at different test phases. The results were compared with finite element strain and modal analysis.
Für die Schubkennwertermittlung an faserverstärkten Kunststoffen existieren verschiedene Verfahren, die nur eine Prüfung bis zu einer vorgegebenen maximalen Schubdehnung zulassen. Die Grasse Zur Ingenieurgesellschaft hat auf Basis eines an der BAM entwickelten Schubrahmens ein Schubprüfsystem etabliert, das diese Nachteile aufhebt. Damit ist es nun erstmals möglich, Schubkennwerte ohne Einschränkung einer maximalen Schubdehnung effizient und mit sehr guter Reproduzierbarkeit zu ermitteln.
Fibre Reinforced Plastics (e.g. CFRP, GFRP) characteristically show nonlinear stress-strain behaviour due to intralaminar shear loading. The determination of the in-plane shear stiffness and strength for this class of material is difficult and common test standards and methods of analysis are partially inaccurate. The identification of the in-plane shear properties was made with an especial designed “picture frame test device” which enables shear loading up to 950N/mm. Therefore the strength limit can be reached at specimens with adequate thickness and a high safety factor against buckling. Due to the chosen design the maximum of the shear loading and the final failure occur in the centre of the specimen. The experiments match with the numerical analysis.
