The research integrates experimental testing, numerical simulations (FEM and fluid dynamics), parametric modeling, and fabrication studies to explore the structural potential of bamboo and wood fiber composite components. Key objectives include assessing the mechanical performance of bamboo, designing efficient connection systems for circular cross-sections, and optimizing...WoodPower aims to develop multifunctional wind towers using bio-based materials and advanced digital design methods. The research integrates experimental testing, numerical simulations (FEM and fluid dynamics), parametric modeling, and fabrication studies to explore the structural potential of bamboo and wood fiber composite components. Key objectives include assessing the mechanical performance of bamboo, designing efficient connection systems for circular cross-sections, and optimizing rotor blade geometry and production. Numerical modeling will be complemented by experimental validation to ensure structural reliability. Parametric tools will support design variation and optimization with respect to structural behavior, energy efficiency, and integration into existing building environments. The project contributes to sustainable energy generation by combining resource-efficient materials with innovative design technologies.» weiterlesen» einklappen
