2 Naming and Definitions
Shell

‘The function isto give an aerodynamic profil
Leeward - also known as suction side. LW shell is upper side during produc-
Le
TE
tion. This side faces towards the tower.
Windward - also known as pressure side. WW shell is under side during pro-
duction. This side is facing the wind.
“The leading edge of the biade, ie. the “nose” that is heading into the wind
during operation,
“The traling edge ofthe blade isthe thin edge where the airflow leaves the
blade during operation.
Pre-Preg Technology. This term is used for blades where the main structure
is the spar
‘This is the main structural component of PPT biades. It's positioned be-
tween the shells and resists loads and forces,
‘Structural Sheli Technology. This term is used for blades where the main
structure is in the shells.
Its positioned between the shells and has to transfer loads and forces.
Bond Line
Line of adhesive bonding two pars together.
“The flap wise load is the motion of the blade caused by the wind. These
Flap Wise
Edge Wise
loads are normal to the WW and LW sh
surfaces of the blade
‘The edge wise loads are caused by a combination of the rotation of the rotor
and the mass of the biade itself, in the direction from LE to TE or vice versa.
