Description
The project will develop sensing capability for coatings being developed for erosion on wind turbine blades, and
for similar applications in aviation. Focus will be on the development of sensors for the helicopter rain erosion
test, ASTM G73, for continuous measurement of strain and changes in thickness, for better correlation
between coatings, test rigs and the real blade environment, for development of better coatings, and for
reducing testing time and costs. The sensing technology if successful will have great beneficial impact on the
Wind Energy industry. In the short term, it will contribute to the improvement of accelerated rain erosion test
method for turbine blades. In the long term, however, the technology is likely to facilitate the development of
improved erosion-resistant coatings.
