Offshore wind energy techniques are developing rapidly. The damage identification and monitoring of offshore wind turbine blades which are essential energy capturing parts are becoming of significant importance in their service life. In this proposal, mode localization model is to be established based on theoretical analysis, shaking table tests and wind tunnel tests, which are beneficial for recognition of environmental hazards and special aerodynamical properties of offshore wind turbine blades. Shaking table tests are employed for investigating local mode characteristics and their initialization mechanism. Wind tunnel tests are planned for studying the transferring mechanism from local modes to nonlinear instantaneous modes. Energy transferring and damage model is to be established by analyzing bifurcation and transition of nonlinear instantaneous modes. Simulation will be conducted for the verification of theory predication and comparison with experiment results. Damage identification and monitoring methods will be developed based on proposed mode localization and damage model considering local and global modes. The purpose of the project is to gain further insights of the damage mechanism and failure process of offshore wind turbine blades from the perspective of nonlinear mechanics. The proposed research has not only its scientific merits and theoretical significance, but is closely related to national strategic energy demands and promising in practical applications of offshore wind engineering projects.
