Research project Add2ReliaBlade
Project title: Add2ReliaBlade – Advanced material data and computed tomography, virtual test benches, Big Data and data-based modeling as an add-on for ReliaBlade.
Summary:
Content and Methodology:
The following three additions are intended to contribute to an increase in rotor blade reliability within the scope of this project: – A highly accurate observation of the fatigue damage development during load tests at material and structural level in order to comprehensively validate new or extended models and, as a long-term goal, to enable the prediction of the probable damage progression and a statement on the remaining service life. – The (numerical) description of fatigue damage development in the form of virtual test rigs for subcomponents and rotor blades, including for use in model-based SHM systems. – The structured evaluation, processing and visualization of test results at the material and structural level as well as the development of methods for data-based material and structural modeling in order to be able to make reliable damage predictions in the field with measured data in the future.
