# Finite Element Analysis for wind turbine blades and tower. On this essay a finite element we do a static simulation for the blades, the wind turbine tower and the part that connects the tower to the wind turbine structure. The simulation in Solidworks uses the displacement formulation of the finite element method to calculate component displacements, strains and stresses under external loads. 1 | To use Finite Element method to do the appropriate tests in order to improve designs of wind turbine blade, wind turbine tower and tower connection part. 2 | To apply different materials to each designed part and run simulations. For wind turbine blades thermoplastic materials an metal materials are tested. For the wind turbine tower aluminium alloys and steel is compared. 3 | To change the design during the process and ensure the geometry remains in the linear elastic range and does not enter the plastic range. This poster was exhibited at the WEAthens2014 Conference at the National Technical University of Athens.

Element failure progression in the pressure side, internal flange and suction side of the blade (from top to bottom in a row) at (a) 75%, (b) 100%, (c) 105% and (d) %116 of extreme flap-wise loading. 415 Load displacement curves in the range between 10% - 130% of combined extreme flap-wise and edgewise loading of the blade are displayed for the linear elastic model and progressive damage model (Puck) in Figure 25. Laminate failure progression observed under flap-wise, edgewise and combined loading conditions fall into type 4 (internal damage formation and growth in laminates in skin) and type 5 (splitting and fracture of separate fibers in laminates of the skin) wind blade damages as categorized in Sorensen et al. Element failure progression on the suction side of the blade at (a) extreme flap-wise, (b) extreme edgewise (no 490 element failure) and (c) combined extreme flap-wise and extreme edgewise at 166% extreme loading case.
