Compblades is in close collaboration with the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics, Univ. of Patras since 1997. The exceptional dimension valuing this collaboration lies in the IMPLEMENTATION of dedicated research and productive feedback in several PROTOTYPE blade designs. Compblades realized and evolved these designs and the produced blades were full-scale tested in accredited laboratories in accordance to international guidelines. This lead to the establishment of reliable and thorough W/T blade development and manufacturing methodologies as well as a supporting numerical and experimental background towards simulation and repair of all kinds of blade structural failures. This deep technical know-how is implemented in Compblades provided services:
- Conceptual and structural design of W/T blades in accordance with IEC 61400-1 Ed.3
- Reverse engineering
- Composite material characterization in accordance with international standards
- FE modeling and validation of blade design
- Full-scale test design of W/T components and blades
- Theoretical and experimental evaluation of repair techniques and repair materials
- Blade damage modeling aiming to determine the appropriate repair strategies as to optimal blade life restoration
