Abstract

In this work, static and dynamic analyses are carried out on VAWT blade using analytical and numerical methods to figure out reasons behind the failure in the blade for off-shore applications arising due to turbulence of wind. The design flaws and different operating conditions play major role in failure of blades. Fatigue life cycles, natural frequencies of blade in different modes and turbine harmonic frequency have been calculated analytically using Goodman’s and vibration analysis theories respectively. In analysis, life cycles, natural frequencies and mode shapes for VAWT blade are studied. Analytical and numerical results have been compared, life cycles and frequencies are determined. The numerical results showed good agreement with theoretical concepts.
