... simplified beam models for the mast definition to reduce computation time. However, these simplified beam mast models do not reveal the instability of the structure (buckling), which is key parameter driving the mast design. More detailed shell models, capable of predicting the local buckling modes...

... with the span of the foil, which results in the occurence of a bend-twist coupling in the material. Computations are performed using a partitioned approach. The flow problem is solved using a boundary element method. The structural response of the foil is modelled with two different finite element models...
