    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade (10), comprising the steps of placing a fibre lay-up including one or more fibre layers on the mould surface of a blade mould (60), arranging a load-bearing structure (45) and a core member (62) on the fibre lay-up such that the core member (62) is arranged between the load-bearing structure (45) and the leading edge (18) and/or between the load-bearing structure (45) and the trailing edge (20), and infusing resin into the blade mould to impregnate the fibre lay-up. The core member (62) comprises a first hole (64) with a circular cross section, a first cylindrical insert (70) rotatably arranged within the first hole (64) of the core member (62), the first cylindrical insert (70) having a central axis (71). A recess (80) is formed in the first cylindrical insert (70), wherein the recess (80) is arranged eccentrically with respect to the central axis (71) of the first cylindrical insert (70).

    摘要: A precured fibrous composite strip for a load-carrying structure for a wind turbine blade has a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, a first side and a second side with a width defined as the distance between the first side and the second side, and an upper surface and a lower surface with a thickness defined as the distance between the upper surface and the lower surface. The strip includes a taper region with a taper length at the first longitudinal end. The taper region tapers in thickness towards the first longitudinal end. The taper region includes a first taper section proximal to the first longitudinal end and having a first average taper angle, a third taper section distal to the first longitudinal end and having a third average taper angle, and a second taper section between the first taper section and the third taper section.

    摘要: A method of producing a universal joint assembly. The method comprises providing a joining member for forming a universal joint, said joining member comprising a first pivot and a second pivot; applying continuous fibre reinforcement and a polymer matrix to a form including said joining member to create a single fibre-reinforced polymer structure in which the joining member is embedded; and splitting said single fibre-reinforced structure into a first fibre-reinforced polymer shaft and a second fibre-reinforced polymer shaft that are coupled together by the joining member to form a universal joint.
