Transverse cracks in wind turbine blades are a type of damage that may initially pose a low risk but can lead to high-risk or even catastrophic blade failure if left unattended. These cracks are more likely to occur on the pressure side of the trailing edge panels, specifically in the transition zone and maximum chord area, due to the high curvature. They are caused by local out-of-plane panel deformations, which is a fatigue-driven issue that can lead to failure. Bladena has a solution for this!
