2021-04-01_TS_BR_V2

Participants shall:

Engage in an activity to correctly define all the parts of a blade

Explain in their own words and share their understanding of how to use radius measurements to determine the position and size of blade damage Explain in their own words and share their understanding of the importance of weight and balance in terms of both blade and turbine performance

Training staff shall:

Give constructive feedback on the participants ’ explanations about how to use radius measurements to determine the position and size of blade damage and the importance of weight and balance in terms of both blade and turbine performance

SANDWICH PANEL

Learning objectives:

The participants can describe the loading on a sandwich panel (Knowledge, basic level)

The participants can describe typical materials used for core material (Knowledge, basic level)

Training staff shall:

Show an example of and describe the parts that make up a sandwich panel

Explain the function of typical materials used for core material:: PVC foam, PET foam and balsa wood

Ask the participants relevant questions about the loading on a sandwich panel

Ask the participants relevant questions about the typical materials used for core material

The participants shall:

Describe in their own words and share their understanding of the loading on a sandwich panel

Describe in their own words and share their understanding of typical materials used for core material
