In Task 2 you demonstrate your knowledge of analytical analysis of continuous systems and your ability of employing analytical skills in problem solving and decision making in the context of a real-life problem. Background Wind turbine blades behave as a beam as well as a torsional member. As a beam, blades can vibrate in two directions, namely, flapwise and edgewise, and as a torsional member, blades can vibrate about their axis (see Figure 1). 4 blade axis Flapwise direction Edgewise direction Figure 1-Top: flapwise and edgewise directions; Bottom: rotation about blade axis (normal to the plane) Large wind turbine blades are subjected to a variety of dynamic loads F(t) which have a wide spectrum of frequencies. One of them which we are interested in has a frequency of fF(t) = 0.02Hz. You are leading a team of design engineers and are in charge of the structural design of a 5MW wind turbine blade. Your team has sent you the initial design with the blade structural data as shown in Table 1 (also available in excel format A1T2_Table1 from the Assessment folder). The project is behind its schedule and you need to make a quick decision whether the dynamic behaviour of the initial design is satisfactory or not without conducting a thorough finite element analysis. 4 span location (measured from blade root) r(m) 1.5 1.7 2.7 3.7 4.7 5.7 6.7 7.7 8.7 9.7 10.7 11.7 12.7 13.7 14.7 15.7 16.7 17.7 19.7 21.7 23.7 25.7 27.7 29.7 31.7 33.7 35.7 37.7 39.7 41.7 43.7 45.7 47.7 49.7 51.7 53.7 55.7 56.7 57.7 58.7 59.2 59.7 60.2 60.7 61.2 61.7 62.2 62.7 63 UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN Table 1- Distributed Blade Structural Properties Flapwise flexural rigidity Elflap (Nm²) Blade density per unit length pA ( 678.935 678.935 773.363 740.55 740.042 592.496 450.275 424.054 400.638 382.062 399.655 426.321 416.82 406.186 381.42 352.822 349.477 346.538 339.333 330.004 321.99 313.82 294.734 287.12 263.343 253.207 241.666 220.638 200.293 179.404 165.094 154.411 138.935 129.555 107.264 98.776 90.248 83.001 Mark breakdown 72.906 68.772 66.264 59.34 55.914 52.484 49.114 45.818 41.669 11.453 10.319 1.81E+10 1.81E+10 1.94E+10 1.75E+10 1.53E+10 1.08E+10 7.23E+09 6.31E+09 5.53E+09 4.98E+09 4.94E+09 4.69E+09 3.95E+09 3.39E+09 2.93E+09 2.57E+09 2.39E+09 2.27E+09 2.05E+09 1.83E+09 1.59E+09 1.36E+09 1.10E+09 8.76E+08 6.81E+08 5.35E+08 4.09E+08 3.15E+08 2.39E+08 1.76E+08 1.26E+08 1.07E+08 9.09E+07 7.63E+07 6.11E+07 4.95E+07 3.94E+07 3.47E+07 3.04E+07 2.65E+07 2.38E+07 1.96E+07 1.60E+07 1.28E+07 1.01E+07 7.55E+06 4.60E+06 2.50E+05 1.70E+05 Edgewise flexural rigidity Eledge (Nm²) General assumptions and approach BC s with assumptions Charact.
