Popis: In this paper, the prototype of a massive wind turbine tower is simplified into a mechanical test model by using the similarity theory, and the relevant similarity coefficient is derived. On this basis, the stress concentration of two typical defects, such as groove and hole, is simulated to simulate the early damage under different wind loads. The stress distribution of the tower model under different loads is calculated by the finite element method (FEM). Meanwhile, a particular metal magnetic memory testing device is made to detect the stress concentration area of the tower. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results, which verifies the effectiveness of the magnetic method to detect the early damage of the tower. Finally, the empirical formula and vector synthesis method are used to analyze the magnetic memory signal, and the evaluation index of stress concentration is proposed.
