VIBRATION MEASUREMENT METHOD OF WIND TURBINE BLADE BASED ON BINOCULAR PHOTOGRAM METRY by YAKUP AhMat, WANG WenYun, GULBAHAR TohTi, SUN Zhi, MAMTIMIN GeNi

“…The vibration images sequence of the blade was acquired synchronously by two cameras and the target was segmented by adaptive binary dynamic threshold method,the direction with fastest grayscale gradient of the coding point as the edge,the circle curve was fitted by the least squares and iterative method,and the precise suppixel central coordinates of the coding point in the dynamic consecutive images were obtained by the gray square centroid method.Each coding point is similar to a small "displacement transducer"that reflects the blade’s time domain vibration response.Finally,the blade’s natural modal frequency was obtained from the time domains response,and compared with the results of the finite element and Laser Doppler Vibrometry,the relative error of vibration frequencies less than 5%,which verified the reliability and effectiveness of binocular photogrammetry method.…”

IMPACT ANALYSIS OF BOLT-CLAMPING FORCE TO FILLED-HOLE LAMINATES INTERLAMINAR STRESS by CAO Yong, FENG YunWen, XUE XiaoFeng, ZHU XianFei

“…Using composite laminates with a bolt-filled hole were proposed to study interlaminar stress distribution of laminates joints hole-edge,and a 3D finite element model with a zero-thickness cohesive element was established for solving holeedge interlaminar stress of laminated plate in tension.The results show that interlaminar normal stress distribution along the hole mainly affected by the bolt-clamping force,under the same bolt-clamping force,interlaminar normal stress value ranges is close;The interlaminar shear stress impact both by the bolt-clamping force and interface ply parameters,such as interlaminar shear stress of [-45 /90] and [0 /-45] interface is larger than others; Interlaminar normal stress caused by bolt-clamping force was mainly compressive stress,and it is beneficial for the interlaminar strength,but interlaminar shear stress generated in the same time is not help to improve the interlaminar strength,therefore,a reasonable clamping force can enhance the interlaminar strength for bolt composite joints.…”
