Evaluation the Performance of Two Kinds Bamboo Laminated of Wind Turbine Blades Composite

Abstract:

The room-temperature storage modulus of 3-4 years Moso bamboo and Dendrocalamus Latiflorus Munro were tested by Q800 dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA). The outer faces of Moso bamboo and Dendrocalamus Latiflorus Munro board as laminated fabricated at different of ages were tested by INSTRON 5582.The results shows that the storage modulus of the outer layer of Moso bamboo and Dendrocalamus Latiflorus Munro under room-temperature conditions increased with aging of Moso bamboo and Dendrocalamus Latiflorus Munro. The stiffness of Moso bamboo and Dendrocalamus Latiflorus Munro increased as growing ages of Moso bamboo and Dendrocalamus Latiflorus Munro. However, The outer layer of Dendrocalamus Latiflorus Munro of 3 years or up has a storage modulus on the order of 1010Pa（10GPa）under room-temperature conditions, which is definitely qualified as the reinforcement material for the wind turbine blades composites. But the outer layer of Moso bamboo of 4 years or below may be lower than 1010Pa, which isn’t definitely qualified as the reinforcement material for the wind turbine blades composites. Generally it isn’t qualified as the reinforcement material for the wind turbine blades composites.
