Design strategies for rotorcraft blades and HALE aircraft wings applied to damage tolerant wind turbine blade design

Offshore wind power production is an attractive clean energy option, but the difficulty of access can lead to expensive and rare opportunities for maintenance. Smart loads management (controls) are investigated for their potential to increase the fatigue life of damaged offshore wind turbine rotor b...
