Abstract:
A shear web for a wind turbine blade is described. The shear web comprises a panel and a web head. A longitudinal edge of the panel is received within a slot defined in the web head. A plurality of discrete spring features are attached to the longitudinal edge of the panel. The spring features are mutually spaced apart at intervals along the length of the longitudinal edge. The spring features compress against a base of the slot when the longitudinal edge region of the panel is inserted into the slot.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of making at least part of a wind turbine blade, the method comprising the following steps in any suitable order:\n providing a first half shell of the blade; providing a shear web comprising:\n a longitudinally-extending web head having a longitudinal surface and first and second sidewalls arranged transversely to the longitudinal surface, the sidewalls being mutually spaced apart to define a longitudinally-extending slot therebetween; and \n a longitudinally-extending panel having a longitudinal edge region defining a longitudinal edge of the panel, \n providing a plurality of discrete spring features spaced at intervals along the longitudinal edge of the panel; providing adhesive in the slot of the web head; inserting the longitudinal edge region of the panel into the slot of the web head; arranging the web head against an inner surface of the first half shell; providing adhesive between the longitudinal surface of the web head and the inner surface of the first half shell; forcing the panel towards the web head such that the longitudinal edge region of the panel is inserted further into the slot and the spring features are compressed against a base of the slot.
