Nonlinear dynamic response of wind turbine rotors. Ph. D. thesis - MIT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6239977
The nonlinear equations of motion for a rigid rotor restrained by three flexible springs representing the flapping, lagging and feathering motions are derived using Lagrange's equations for arbitrary angular rotations. These are reduced to a consistent set of nonlinear equations using nonlinear terms up to third order.
