  • Device for assembling sections of wind-turbine blades and method for linking sections of wind-turbine blades
    Patent number: 9169825
    Abstract: A device for assembling sections of wind-turbine blades provided with casings, including at least one tie including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being a portion for assembly with a casing of a first section and the second portion being a portion for mounting with a complementary tie supported by a casing of a second section, wherein the first portion includes at least one composite/metal shear link provided with a continuous fitting element on at least one surface of the casing which receives one end of the aformentioned surface of the casing, provided with attachment pins passing through the fitting and the end of the surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2010

    Assignee: ASTRIUM SAS
    Inventors: Marcel Auberon, Nicolas Petermann
  • Method for making mechanical links
    Patent number: 9129074
    Abstract: A method of making a mechanical multishear link includes sizing the multishear link by breaking down a system comprised by the link into as many subassemblies as there are simple shear interfaces, defining the subassemblies around each shear interface, describing each shear by its stiffness, and applying the mechanical relationships to achieve a system of equations for a computer-assisted resolution by applying the Huth method to each shear interface.
