Abstract

This paper reports the nonlinear dynamics of a large wind turbine blade considering the hub motion. The investigation is based on a continuum mathematical model, which is derived using the extended Hamilton principle. The proposed model is validated via comparison with both published results and numerical simulations obtained from open source software. The steady state amplitude curves as well as the dominating frequencies of the modal forces are compared and analyzed with discussions on the effects of the hub motion amplitude, yaw angle and rotational frequency of the blade. Comparison of dominant frequencies of modal forces shows that the skewed inflow can strengthen the periodic excitation whose frequency equals to the rotating frequency of the blade. The steady state amplitude curves show that vibration of the edge-wise mode is more significant than that of the flap-wise mode when under the hub motion excitation. Moreover, internal resonance between the first three modes is also observed. The skewed inflow has a significant effect on the first mode in terms of vibration amplitude and the most unfavorable direction of hub motion. Finally, recommendation on how to avoid the resonance and internal resonance of the blades under skewed inflow are given.
