“…Using finite element methods, yarns are represented as a finite number of elements by a suitable mesh system for the specific problem. This solves the problem closest to reality, as argued by Tarfaoui and Akesbi (2001) when they applied an FE model for calculating the mechanical properties of plain weave. For example, if we use the FE approach in the present model, we do not need to assume the size and/or shape of the contacting zones between the yarns nor the shape of the yarn crosssections as known a priori.…”

“…Due to their mechanical performance, composite materials offer new prospects for the renewable energy industry and specifically wind energy. However, the variability of their behavior, due in particular to the presence of initial or induced microscopic defects in service, is an important constraint to their development (Tarfaoui and Akesbi, 2001a, 2001b; Tarfaoui et al, 2001).…”

Wind energy is one among the most promising renewable energy sources, and hence there is fast growth of wind energy farm implantation over the last decade, which is expected to be even faster in the coming years. Wind turbine blades are complex structures considering the different scientific fields involved in their study. Indeed, the study of blade performance involves fluid mechanics (aerodynamic study), solids mechanics (the nature of materials, the type of solicitations …), and the fluid coupling structure (IFS). The scope of the present work is to investigate the mechanical performances and structural integrity of a large offshore wind turbine blade under critical loads using blade element momentum. The resulting pressure was applied to the blade by the use of a user subroutine “DLOAD” implemented in ABAQUS finite element analysis software. The main objective is to identify and predict the zones which are sensitive to damage and failure as well as to evaluate the potential of composite materials (carbon fiber and glass fiber) and their effect on reduction of rotor’s weight, as well as the increase of resistance to wear, and stiffness.

“…Mesoscopic parameters of unit cell mainly include fabric thickness, the length of unit cell, width of yarns, yarn sectional shape, yarn curve, the friction coefficient between yarns and so on. Among the parameters, the yarn sectional shape has been studied widely [2][3][4] . Potluri and Thammandra 5 and Boisse et al 6 proposed unit cell model with lenticular sectional of yarn to analyze biaxial and shear behaviour of glass plain woven fabrics.…”
