Database for wind turbine materials.(Energy/power generation)
Advanced Composites Bulletin, October, 2006
Researchers at Montana State University's Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering have developed a database of information to predict how the different composites used in modern wind turbine blades will perform during their lifetimes.
The work is being conducted by Professor John Mandell and his team, and follows on from earlier work he conducted at Sandia National Laboratories, USA, in assessing these materials.
In 17 years, Mandell and assistant Dan Samborsky, a research specialist, have accumulated 10 000 results on about 150 different composites. The research has been gathered up on Sandia's Internet site as the MSU/US Department of Energy (DOE) Fatigue Database for Composite Materials. It is one of the world's largest open-access...
