Details

Balsa wood is ideal for the construction of fiber composites in sandwich design and is often used for rotor blades. In a wind turbine with three rotor blades, two to three balsa trees can be installed. As a result of higher demand and price increases, more and more manufacturers are replacing balsa wood with special PET foams.

Benefits

In this presentation, you will learn how Ansys Material Designer speeds up the balsa wood replacement process and makes the calculations very simple and transparent. The RVE elements developed for this purpose include PET and resin information. Resin absorption and component curvature are also taken into account.
