Damage identification analysis of local deformation in wind turbine tower structures based on modal parameters
The large-scale development of wind turbine towers has increased susceptibility to local damage deformation, significantly impacting operational safety and stability. Focusing on the DTU 10 MW wind turbine tower, this study proposes a damage identification method based on finite element dynamic analysis and modal parameters. The approach calculates flexural rigidity values through finite element modeling and sectional stiffness formulas, investigates the accuracy of modal flexibility difference curvature (MFDC) for structural damage identification, and explores the effects of roundness deviations and local dent depths on structural integrity. Additionally, the influence of multi-section damage on modal identification is examined. Results reveal flexural rigidity oscillations at damaged sections under roundness deviation and local dents. The MFDC method accurately identifies localized damage positions using pre/post-damage modal parameters, quantifies damage severity thresholds, and demonstrates robust multi-section damage localization accuracy.
