Numerical investigation of damage progressive in composite tidal turbine for renewable marine energy

What is it about?

Marine energy is one of the most exciting emerging form of renewable energy. Tidal turbines are used to extract this energy and installed on the seabed at locations with catastrophic loading. This investigation focuses on the numerical simulation of the damage progressive in tidal turbine used for marine energy application under impact loadings. The optimal design and the dynamic behavior of the turbine are studied. Finally, the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic pressures over the loading and the distribution of the stress, the deformation and damaged zone are presented.

Why is it important?

We could define this paper modeling (3D Shell) simple and robust implemented in Abaqus for composite permits rapid global approach and not time-consuming for calculating the impact tests and have a size and shape damaged area quickly and accurately. This approach based on the stacking sequence and Hashin type of damage criteria allows the rapid preliminary design of the state of the structure.
