The document discusses finite element analysis and experimental testing conducted on small wind turbine blades with different profiles and materials. Finite element analysis was performed on blades constructed of glass fiber reinforced with polyester resin, glass fiber with polyester resin and foam core, and glass fiber with epoxy resin and foam core. Modal analysis determined natural frequencies for the first five vibration modes. Harmonic analysis subjected the blades to wind loads to calculate displacement and stress. Experimental load deflection testing applied cyclic loads at the blade root, mid-section, and tip to measure deflection. Testing showed degradation of material properties over cycles. Analysis and testing identified a blade made from glass fiber, epoxy resin, and foam core as the best performing design.
