Short summary
Modern rotor blade designs depend on detailed numerical models and simulations. Thus, a validated modeling methodology is fundamental for reliable designs. This paper briefly presents a modeling algorithm for rotor blades, its validation against real-life full-scale blade tests, and the respective test data. The hybrid 3D shell/solid finite-element model is successfully validated against the conducted classical bending tests in flapwise and lead–lag direction as well as novel torsion tests.
