For instance, in two separate studies by Zhou et al., (2018) and Vera-Tudela & KΓΌhn, (2017), DEL values for turbine blades in flapwise and edgewise directions have been predicted using 10-min SCADA data by ANNs. Although there are similarities between the methodologies, they have resulted in different results regarding the used features, the model structure, pre-processing steps, and achieved accuracies.

Durability and Damage Tolerance Analysis Approaches for ...

https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/16/24/7934

permission is required to reuse all or part of the article published by MDPI, including figures and tables. In this paper, we discuss the application of durability and damage tolerance analysis (DADTA) approaches to trailing edge service life prediction. DADTA is mandated in the aerospace sector to support airworthiness certification and to provide an updated life prediction of the structure based on the different stages of their service life. The current paper provides an extensive review of these methods and shows how these can be applied to the wind turbine blade industry, specifically for predicting the structural design life of the trailing edge of composite wind turbine blades. The review includes (a) defining wind turbine trailing edge failure modes, (b) trailing edge design procedures, and (c) a detailed discussion of the application of durability and damage tolerance analysis for trailing edge life prediction.

Root Causes and Mechanisms of Failure of Wind Turbine Blades: Overview

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9101399

# Root Causes and Mechanisms of Failure of Wind Turbine Blades: Overview. A review of the root causes and mechanisms of damage and failure to wind turbine blades is presented in this paper. In particular, the mechanisms of leading edge erosion, adhesive joint degradation, trailing edge failure, buckling and blade collapse phenomena are considered. The role of manufacturing defects (voids, debonding, waviness, other deviations) for the failure mechanisms of wind turbine blades is highlighted. It is concluded that the strength and durability of wind turbine blades is controlled to a large degree by the strength of adhesive joints, interfaces and thin layers (interlaminar layers, adhesives) in the blade. In this paper, the mechanisms of degradation and failure of wind turbine blades under service conditions are reviewed, with a view also on the role of manufacturing defects and possible solutions.
