In the preliminary design stage of wind turbine blade, faster and simpler methods are preferred to predict the aeroelastic response of the blades in order to get an idea about the appropriateness of the blade stiffness. Therefore, in the present study, applicability of the quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis of wind turbine blade is investigated in terms of how accurately the quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis predicts the deformed state of the blade at certain azimuthal positions. For this purpose, comparative study of transient and quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis of a composite wind turbine blade in steady wind conditions is conducted. To perform the transient analysis, a multi-body wind turbine model is generated with almost rigid components except for the dynamic superelement blade that is inverse designed. Transient analysis of the multi body wind turbine system is performed by imposing constant rotational speed to the main shaft and bypassing the controller. Quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis of the same composite wind turbine blade is performed, by coupling a structural finite element solver with a blade element momentum tool, in steady wind conditions at different azimuthal positions including the effect of the centrifugal and gravitational forces. Results show that for the wind turbine system taken as the case study, reasonably good agreement is obtained between the tip deflections and flapwise root shear forces determined by the transient aeroelastic analysis of the wind turbine and quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis of the blade only.

Nonlinear vibration analysis of bladed disks with dry friction dampers Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2006-08-22) in this work, a new model is proposed for the vibration analysis of turbine blades with dry friction dampers. The aim of the study is to develop a multiblade model that is accurate and yet easy to be analyzed so that it can be used efficiently in the design of friction dampers. The suggested nonlinear model for a bladed disk assembly includes all the blades with blade to blade and/or blade to cover plate dry friction dampers. An important feature of the model is that both macro-slip and micro-slip models ar...
Assessment of the Effect of Hybrid GFRP CFRP Usage in Wind Turbine Blades on the Reduction of Fatigue Damage Equivalent Loads in the Wind Turbine System Gözcü, Ozan; Farsadi, Touraj; Şener, Özgün; Kayran, Altan (null; 2015-01-05) The use of hybrid GFRP-CFRP material in wind turbine blades is investigated for its effectiveness in reducing fatigue damage equivalent loads in the whole wind turbine system, and comparisons are made against the baseline full GFRP blade in terms of strength, deformation, dynamic characteristics, weight and cost of the blade. To achieve load alleviation in the whole wind turbine system, bending-twisting coupling in composite blades is exploited through the use of off-axis plies in the spar caps of the blade...
FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF UNIFORM AND ASYMMETRIC COMPOSITE PRETWISTED ROTATING THIN WALLED BEAM Farsadi, Touraj; Şener, Özgün; Kayran, Altan (2017-11-09) Composite pretwisted rotating thin walled beams (TWB) can be used as the structural model for composite helicopter and wind turbine blades for the study of aeroelastic response of the blades. In the present study, semi-analytical solution is performed for the free vibration analysis of uniform and asymmetric composite pretwisted rotating TWB. The approximation of the Green-Lagrange strain tensor is adopted to derive the strain field of the system. The Euler Lagrange governing equations of the dynamic system...
Test method for appraising future durability of new concrete bridge decks Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Aktan, H.M.; Hearn, N.; Staton, J.F. (SAGE Publications, 2002-01-01) The nondestructive test procedure for quantifying the future durability of bridge deck concrete is based on the fundamental relationship between ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and the permeability of an elastic medium. An experimental study using standard concrete cylindrical specimens (ASTM C192) documented adequate sensitivity between UPV and permeability. The test procedure uses a parameter directly proportional to increase in-field concrete permeability called paste quality loss (PQL). The PQL is compu...
Wind Turbine Performance Losses Due to the Ice Accretion on the Turbine Blades Yirtici, Ozcan; Sevine, Tansu; Özgen, Serkan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2018-01-01) Ice accretion on wind turbine blades modifies the blade profiles and causes degradation in the aerodynamic characteristic of the blades. In this study ice accretion on turbine blades are simulated under various icing conditions and the resulting power losses are estimated. The Blade Element Momentum method is employed together with an ice accretion prediction methodology based on the Extended Messinger model and 2D flow solvers XFOIL and SU2. The predicted iced profiles are first validated with the experime...
