My PhD is focused on the numerical prediction of the compressive strength of pultruded composites of wind turbine blades using 3D X-ray scanned data from real composite samples. Since this topic requires quite a bit of background knowledge, I plan to structure my presentation around the following key points:
-
What are composite materials?
-
Where do we find them?
-
Why do we want them? What are their advantages?
-
How are they related to wind turbines? Why is this important for the environment and society?
-
What is my research about?
(Answer: A computer model to predict the strength of wind turbine blades, using cut pieces of the same material as the blades)
-
The importance of reflecting on the consequences of your research:
What will my research be used for? Will it have a positive impact on society?
-
Why I chose DTU and PhD life, and how I ended up here
I also plan to ask questions to the students during the presentation to encourage them to think and participate actively.
