Abstract: A wind turbine rotor blade includes a first blade segment and a second blade segment extending in opposite directions from a chord-wise joint line and connected at the chord-wise joint line by internal joint structure. Opposite spar caps in the first blade segment include a longitudinally extending center section having a constant transverse width up to the chord-wise joint line. Wing members are disposed against opposite longitudinal sides of the center section, each wing member having a head section with a constant transverse width and a flared tail section having a decreasing transverse width, the head section aligned with an end of the center section at the chord-wise joint line. The center section is formed from a first material having a first rigidity and the wing members are formed at least partially from a second material having a second lesser rigidity such that the wings members have an overall rigidity that is less than first rigidity of the center section.

Abstract: A method for assembling a shell section of a wind turbine blade includes providing a support, the support comprising a surface having a primary surface portion configured for supporting a first component and a secondary surface portion configured for supporting a second component. The method also includes arranging a second component on the secondary surface portion such that an outer surface of the second component is facing the secondary surface portion. The method further includes arranging a first component on the primary surface portion such that an outer surface of the first component is facing the primary surface portion, and such that a first primary joint surface of the first component is facing a second joint surface of the second component. Arranging the first component includes applying a force to the first component to force the outer surface of the first component towards the primary surface portion and the first primary joint surface towards the second joint surface.
