Popis: Wind turbine blade usually are molded by composite material. In this research, glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) is utilized. GFRP has larger ratio of strengh to weight and easily molded that can contributes high efficiency in converting wind energy to electrical energy. Unfortunately, the strength of GFRP is greatly influenced by the skill of the operator during the construction. The aim of this work to investigate mechanical strength of wind turbine blade through the calculation and measurement. Tensile strength of wind turbine blade is found as 3.790 N/cm2 for the calculation and 3.690 N/cm2 for the measurement.
