Abstract Mechanical characteristics of small wind turbine blades of National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 63-415 series with different Univinyl (UV) foam alignments have been evaluated experimentally using Universal
Testing Machine and numerically using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software
ANSYS. The wind turbine blade models considered are selected from the NACA
63415 series to give a power output of 1 kW. The blades in this study are made
like a sandwich beam structure. The outermost portion of the blade is made of
glass fiber reinforced plastics with epoxy resin as composite and Uni-vinyl foam
alignments are… More >
