BLAEST developed a new electro-mechanical exciter for fatigue testing
The most common way of performing fatigue testing of blades is to mount a rotating mass exciter onto the blade. Drawbacks of using this exciter type are that a large mass is placed on the blade and also that the forces from the exciter are not only introduced in the direction of the movement, but also along the blade. 19 August, 2016
