Abstract

In the process of wind turbine operation, the blade needs to withstand various kinds of loads. With wind turbine power kept getting bigger, the strength requirement of the blades become higher. In order to improve the strength of the blade, lots of new composite materials are use in blade material component parts. This paper studies the geometry laminated structure, external and structural characteristics of composite blade.
