1. The basic principle and analysis method of finite element design method. The finite element design method is a very effective numerical method for solving boundary value problems of differential equations, and it is also one of the core technologies of CAE software. The finite element design method is a numerical discretization method, and the numerical solution is carried out according to the variational principle. The basic idea of the finite element design method is to simplify the structure on the basis of the structural analysis and force analysis of the overall structure, and use the discretization method to treat the simplified continuous structure as consisting of many finite sizes, only within each other. The steps of structural analysis with finite element design method are: discretization processing, unit analysis, overall analysis, and introduction of boundary conditions to solve. In the finite element design analysis, the correct selection of element types plays an important role in the correctness of the analysis results and the calculation accuracy.

# 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.

The static windload may be calculated for each section with a chord length CLi, where CL = [6/3 6/3 6/3 6/3 5.6602/3 4.9392/3 4.1792/3 3.5812/3] The windload acting on a single airfoil in a section i is given as Fd,i = 1 2 ρcdv2Ai where Ai = (CL)iLi, and the beam length Li = 11.254m for each section, the resulting loads for each section were calculated: Fd = 1.4224 · 1.17 · 602 · [6/3 6/3 6/3 6/3 5.660/3 4.939/3 4.179/3 3.581/3] · 11.254 = [58068 58068 58068 58068 54779 47801 40446 34658] N 28 The surface traction will then depend on the length and width of the spar caps in beam type used in the global model. For an analysis of an initial reference cross section, this script makes n cuts (defined by the user) along each beam in rows A, B and C, and extracts the sectional forces and moments (resultants and components) at that cut.

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.
