Short summary
This study investigates how finite-element (FE) models of different fidelity affect the damage identification in a 31 m wind turbine rotor blade tested under edgewise fatigue loading. Different design variable configurations are compared, whereby the FE model updating is based on modal parameters identified from measured vibration data.
