Problems solved by technology

However, the modeling process of the blade shell model is cumbersome, especially it takes a lot of time to set the ply information of the shell elements, which leads to low modeling efficiency of the shell finite element model
In addition, the total number of degrees of freedom of the blade shell finite element model is too large to be efficiently used in the aeroelastic analysis of wind turbine multibody systems

Abstract

The invention discloses a displacement calculation method of wind turbine blades based on a three-dimensional shell finite element model. In the calculation method, a three-dimensional shell finite element model for blades is equivalent to beam models. The node of each beam model overlaps the reference center of a cross section. Blade roots are completely constrained. Six independent unit loads are applied to a free end of the shell finite element model. Based on the node displacement calculation method of a flexibility matrix of the beam model, flexibility matrixes of all beam models are solved for once. Without loads unknown, displacement of all pneumatic centers can be directly calculated so that calculation efficiency of blade elastic deformation during analyses and calculations of features including elasto-aerodynamic coupling for blades and bending-torsional coupling.
