The primary objective of this research is to develop a better understanding of the Aeroelastic loads and responses of healthy and damaged wind turbine blades in varying wind conditions, (i.e. smooth flow, turbulent flow, gusty winds, and yaw misalignment).

Aerodynamic forces act on the blade
Blade deforms (elastic deformation)
Aerodynamic forces act differently on a blade because of different
geometry
Wind Turbine Blade is not rigid
Blade deforms more because of
new forces

Known as a self-excited response, flutter is characterized by the interplay between aerodynamic, elastic, and inertial forces. Flutter is sometimes known as dynamic aeroelasticinstability. Particularly dangerous when small disturbances (essentially incidental) induce violent oscillations!
Above a certain wind speed the kinetic
energy of the structure will no longer be
dissipated and it will become dynamically
unstable. This wind speed is known as the
flutter speed.

The flutter speed of a typical (1.5 MW) wind
turbine blade is about 2x the operating wind
speed and the flutter speed decreases as the
blade gets longer!
Short Answer:

Wind turbine blades deform when operating and when parked. The hope is to use these deformations as a means to identify damage in the blade. But, in order to use it we must first understand the loads and the inherent response of the blade when it is deforming. This should allow us to identify areas where the stress is higher than it should be, indicating damage.

Stress increases around a hole in a plate
The stress concentration factor in this region is 3. Meaning that the stress seen in this area is three times the load being applied to the plate!

These are the equations for the 2 degrees of freedom case. When considering all 3 DOFs there are 18 flutter derivatives.
Each flutter derivative tells us something different about the response. For example, 𝐻1
∗ is aerodynamic damping in the vertical and 𝐴2∗ is
aerodynamic damping in torsion.
