Let X denote the vibratory stress (psi) on a wind turbine blade at a particular wind speed
Question:
Let X denote the vibratory stress (psi) on a wind turbine blade at a particular wind speed in a wind tunnel. The article
“Blade Fatigue Life Assessment with Application to VAWTS” (J. of Solar Energy Engr., 1982: 107–111) proposes the Rayleigh distribution, with pdf as a model for the X distribution.
a. Verify that is a legitimate pdf.
b. Suppose (a value suggested by a graph in the article). What is the probability that X is at most 200? Less than 200? At least 200?
c. What is the probability that X is between 100 and 200
(again assuming )?
d. Give an expression for .
