Abstract

See full text

A method for joining rotor blade segments of a rotor blade includes forming a female structural member having a receipt portion with a cavity and a structural portion. Further, the method includes securing the female structural member within a first blade segment. The method also includes forming a male structural member having a protrusion portion and a structural portion. Moreover, the method includes securing the structural portion of the male structural member within a second blade segment. In addition, the method includes inserting the protrusion portion into the cavity. As such, when inserted, an interface of the protrusion portion and the cavity forms one or more internal channels. Thus, the method further includes injecting adhesive into the one or more internal channels so as to secure the first and second blade segments together.
