Abstract
The implementation of a new structural beam model in the in-house aeroelastic tool BHawC is presented. The model is based on a recently published equilibrium based formulation of a beam stiffness matrix as well as a novel stiffness proportional damping formulation. The performance of the new beam implementation is assessed via modelling a commercial wind turbine. Four analyses are presented to illustrates the increased accuracy in recovered section forces and representation of the dynamic behaviour gained from the new structural model.
