Abstract

In order to enhance its performance and quality, lay-up molding method is adopted to form large-scale composite wind turbine blade. Composite fibre lay-up of wind turbine blades must be multi-directional lay-up because of its complexity of bearing load and multi-direction of internal stress. Two lay-up algorithms of equidistant lay-up angle method and equidistant line method for free curved face of large-scale composite molding component are studied in this study. Lay-up path solution of 0°, ±45°and 90° for wind turbine blade are reseached and their lay- up paths of some 1.2MW blade are formed in UG NX.

Keywords:

Composite fiber, lay-up algorithm, lay-up angle, path solution, wind turbine blade,
