Dynamic analysis of a 10m diameter wind turbine rotor under maximum wind load of Malaysia

This project describes the application of finite element analysis (FEA) in studying the strength of the design of the wind turbine rotor under the wind speed of 36 m/s. The forces and pressure produced by the mentioned speed was initially estimated using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD). With th...
