A Method Of Forming A Structural Connection Between A Spar Cap And A Fairing For A Wind Turbine Blade
Updated over 1 year ago
Abstract
A method of forming a structural connection between a spar cap (14) and an aerodynamic fairing (12). A composite comprising an uncured matrix and a compressible solid is applied between the spar cap and fairing and is then compressed and cured to adhere the fairing to the spar cap. The cured matrix composite has a void volume of at least 20%. The high void volume means that as the fairing is compressed into place and compresses the composite , it has space in which to deform so as not to place undue stress on the fairing and to produce a lightweight connection.
