Notes:
This paper presents the experimental results obtained of flexurally loaded wind turbineblade cross section material. All material was extracted from a wind turbine blade box girder andtesting was conducted in four point configuration. The aim was to gain an understanding of thestructural integrity of this lightweight material as it deforms in flexure. To allow for thoroughanalysis, digital image correlation (DIC) was used to produce full field strain maps of the deformingspecimens. Results highlight the capability of the DIC technique to identify regions of failure, aswell as the aspects responsible for them. Overall, the results present a foundation for tests on largersubstructure, and eventually integration into manufacturing and maintenance aspects of the industry
