README AUTHOR: Antonio Andrea Maria Laudani, University of Southampton, ORCID ID 0000-0002-0423-5363


THIS DATASET SUPPORTS THE THESIS ENTITLED: "Numerical Modelling of Lightning Strikes to Wind Turbine Blades: Analysis of Equipotential Bonding for CFRP Spars" 
AWARDED BY: University of Southampton
DATE OF AWARD: 2022


DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This dataset contains the experimental data to support the PhD thesis. It provides the experimental values and mathematical calculations done to estimate the contact resistivity of equipotential bonding joints and the thermal degradation of epoxy resin. The softwares employed for mathematical calculations were Excel and OriginLab. These data were published in my papers entitled "Estimation of Contact Resistivity in Lightning Protection Equipotential Bonding Joints of Wind Turbine Blades" and "Numerical simulation of lightning strike damage to wind turbine blades and validation against conducted current test data".
