Wait, wait wait..
I read some dribble about Golf yesterday in another post, so now I want a shot at what I like to read.
It’s certainly great for getting rid of chicks in a bar, if you want to be left alone:
Did you know that the size of wind turbine rotors has increased in the past decade from 40 m to more than 120 m diameter.
The resulting mass of about 18 tons per rotor blade causes high bending moments at the
inner part of a blade due to the gravitational load thingies.
God I just love Dry Martini’s, get one yourself with extra gin...
Where was I, oh yes...
More than 108 load cycles will happen in the prospected lifetime of 20 years of a turbine.
During this time the rotor blades are exposed to various hostile conditions such as extreme temperatures,
humidity, rain, hail impact, snow, ice, solar radiation, bird poop, lightning salinity and fricken “do good’ers” environmentalists protesters, who will not shut the fuck up & don’t like the placement of the structures because they think they know better.
Nup sorry, I don’t smoke but that guy there might have one...
Anyhow, as I was yelling, so you could hear,
In order to withstand these external conditions without diminishing the safety a sound knowledge of the fatigue behaviour of the material and structural properties is needed, I can explain that later at my place , over a coffee, if you like..
To meet the upcoming requirements a paper that, I will write, when I’m ready and got nothing better to do, will highlight some fatigue and lifetime aspects on wind turbine rotor-blades made of composite materials, Ya know what I’m sayng, hmmm.
This includes an historical part in connection with glider technology, the presentation of relevant S-N curves not only for the 0°-orientated fibres representing the spar-cap but also for ±45°-lay-ups in shear web and shell, by the way did I tell you I have a circular shape bed, it’s king size you know, anyhow, One must also consider the influence of fibre content and architecture, of environmental effects, a view on lifetime prediction on structural elements as well as on present and future works.
Ya know what I’m sayng.
Oh she’s gone, fuck it I’m going home, just one more drink.
I really don’t like camels because I don’t trust anyone who only has one drink every 12 days.
