Dimensionally Consistent Torsional-Stiffness Modeling for Long Flexible Wind-Turbine Blades Using the Variational Asymptotic Method

With the increasing size of wind turbines and the trend toward longer and more flexible blades, the aeroelastic response of blades has become significant. To achieve efficient and high-fidelity modeling, a new approach is required. In this study, a parametric two-dimensional cross-sectional model is developed based on...
