Abstract

Wind turbines are exposed to a wide range of external conditions and resulting loads. This work investigates the influence of these loads on the deformation of different cross-sections of a rotor blade. A 3D finite element model is created and several simulations with different load distributions are carried out. Following classical beam theories, a cross-section that is planar in the undeformed configuration is assumed to
remain planar. Two procedures to find this plane are proposed. The cross-sectional deformations are discussed in the context of magnitude and qualitative distribution of internal loads.
