Computational and analytical studies of degradation of wind turbine blade materials at\nthe macro-, micro-, and nanoscale carried out by the modelling team of the Section Composites and\nMaterials Mechanics, Department ofWind Energy, DTU, are reviewed. Examples of the analysis of\nthe microstructural effects on the strength and fatigue life of composites are shown. Computational\nstudies of degradation mechanisms of wind blade composites under tensile and compressive loading\nare presented. The effect of hybrid and nanoengineered structures on the performance of the\ncomposite was studied in computational experiments as well.
