I have made an approximate crash test simulation of Danish wind turbine using Abaqus. Any questions? ask in comment section. Please subscribe if you like the video
The tower did not flex in that manner. The failure occurred as a result of one blade breaking, which caused severe unbalance. That started the movement in the nacelle, which allowed a remaining blade to hit the tower, which caused the collapse. The blade broke first, then another blade hit the tower. That's when it all came down.
pov:wind turbine saying* wind turbine:im going crazy from this storm storm:haha im so power oh shit the wind turbine is go faster im gonna fix *wind turbine explodes* storm:oops i destroyed
I believe that the turbine did not bend causing the blade to shatter but instead the force of the strong winds bent only the blade slightly causing it to snap and fly of making it unbalanced causing the tower to become weaker and the snapped blade hit it and the other blades causing it to sort of blow up
yeah cuz everyone's electric cars are constantly on fire and every wind turbine out there is blowing up. no, wait, that's just gas in all the regular cars that's literally being burned up goddamn idiots
At £2.5 million pounds each,I think it's intelligent to say that these weak structures are a waste of money.only a die hard hippy greeny who lives in a dream world would think differently.
Thanks for your answer. I have the lift and drag force on the blades, your rotational force is't lift and drag force? How to applied drag load on the tower in abaqus if I want to use the logarithmic law of the wind speed? I think only the wind speed power law is implemented in abaqus. Thanks if you can help with questions
Lift and drag force can be achieved using CFD but blade wont rotate much. You have to use Ansys for it then you can see the drag and lift and blade rotate. Sorry for late reply
