Abstract:
A wind turbine blade (1) is formed of a fibre-reinforced composite material comprising a polymer matrix. The blade (1) further comprises a first region (11), a second region (12) and a transition region (13) between the first and the second region (11, 12). The first region (11) is reinforced predominantly with a first reinforcement fibre material (21). The second region (12) is reinforced predominantly with a second reinforcement fibre material (22). The first and the second reinforcement fibre material differ from each other and has differing E-modulus. The transition region (13) additionally comprises a third type of reinforcement fibre material (23) differing from both the first and the second reinforcement fibre material (21; 22) and having an E-modulus between that of the first reinforcement fibre material (21) and that of the second reinforcement fibre material (22).
Abstract:
Wind turbine blade has a longitudinal direction and includes a shell structure made of a fibre-reinforced polymer material including a polymer matrix and reinforcement material comprising a plurality of carbon fibre layers embedded in the polymer matrix. At least a portion of the shell structure is formed of a laminate (6) comprising at least one metal filament layer (15, 18) comprising metal filaments and being sandwiched between two carbon fibre layers (16,16;17,18) comprising carbon fibres only. The carbon fibre layers are arranged contiguously with the metal filament layer.
Abstract:
The wind turbine blade (1) includes a structure made of a fibre reinforced polymer material including a polymer matrix and fibre reinforcement material embedded in the polymer matrix. The fibre reinforcement material includes carbon fibres that have been produced by carbonisation of a precursor to a carbonisation degree of 60% to 80%.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of joining at least two parts by adhesion, said method comprising arrangement of a porous layer in the adhesive joint for taking up excess adhesive from the adhesive joint as such. The invention further relates to an element - including in particular a blade for a wind turbine - which is combined by adhesion of several parts, and wherein a porous layer is at least partially comprised in the adhesive joint between the parts and take up excess adhesive outside the adhesive joint. The porous layer may be of a mesh-like structure or may have the structure of a sponge and may furthermore be entirely or partially pre-impregnated with adhesive.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a fibre-reinforced laminate (101), which laminate comprises at least one area on the surface of the laminate configured with projecting fibres for being joined to one or more other elements. This is accomplished by arrangement of a hybrid mat (505) most distally in the laminate which comprises at least two layers with fibres (105) transversally across the joining face (402) of the layers. The outermost layer (301) of the hybrid mat is removed prior to joining, whereas the innermost layer (506) of the hybrid mat remains a constituent of the laminate (101). The invention relates to different methods of causing fibres to project from the surface of the laminate, said fibres thus having a reinforcing effect on the joints. The invention also relates to a laminate manufactured by the disclosed methods and a blade for a wind power plant comprising such laminate.
