GWO BR v2.0

GWO Blade Repair Training Standard V2.0

2021-04-01_TS_BR_V2

Engage in a group discussion about typical blade faults, damages, possible causes and the subsequent performance implications Engage in a group discussion on the role of listed mitigations (a-f) in element 13.5.2 in reducing blade damage

Training staff shall:

Give constructive feedback on the participants’ group discussions about typical blade faults, damages, causes, implications and mitigations

MATERIALS

75 min.

The aim of the lesson is to enable the participants to distinguish between the various materials, and understand the differences in characteristics and application of the material types when working with inspection and repair in a safe and efficient manner.

After successfully having completed this lesson, the participants will be able to:

Distinguish between the various materials (Skills, intermediate level)

Explain the differences in characteristics and application of the material types when working with inspection and repair (Knowledge, intermediate level)

REINFORCEMENT MATERIALS

Learning objective:

The participants can explain the reinforcement materials used in composite laminates and how those materials resist tensile loads in the blade (Knowledge, intermediate level)

Training staff shall:

Explain that reinforcement materials give strength to the composite by resisting tensile loads in a laminate structure Describe the different types of reinforcement materials used in blade production (glass fibre and carbon fibre)

Define the terms 'UD', 'Biax' and 'Triax' in relation to reinforcement materials

Show examples of and explain the characteristics of UD, Biax and Triax glass fibre mats

Explain how a laminate is constructed from multiple layers of fibres

Show an example of and explain the characteristics of 'hardback' materials

Define the term 'prepreg'

Explain how prepreg materials are used during production
