Strength Analysis of an Archimedes Wind Turbine Model Designed for Additive Manufacturing
Abstract— The article examines the Archimedes wind turbine model with a diameter of 1,500 mm in terms of the strength of its construction. It describes in detail the material properties of the turbine produced by means of alternative methods, specifically by means of the Selective Laser Sintering additive technology. By combining CFD simulation and strength analysis, the article solves the influence of the pressure force of the wind and the speed of the turbine on the tension and deformations in its construction. The results are compared with commercially available turbines made of composite materials.
