Development of nonlinear flat shell element with nonlinear thickness variation for highly flexible wind turbine blade

Large deformation from continuously varied thicknesses on existing and wind turbine blade shell structures is investigated. Various structure models having complicated outer shapes and thickness variations are considered and validated in this paper. A co-rotational method is developed to analyze geo...
