Patent attributes
A wind turbine blade having a surface mounted device attached thereto via at least a first attachment part, which is connected to a part of the device. The first attachment part comprises an outer attachment part providing a first bonding connection between the device and the surface of the blade, wherein the first bonding connection is an elastic bond, and an inner attachment part providing a second bonding connection between the device and the surface of the blade, wherein the second bonding connection has a structural bond. The structural bond prevents the surface mounted device from creeping and the elastic bond region relieves stresses on the bond line, such as peel stresses, whereby the surface mounted device is less likely to be ripped off the surface of the blade due to forces affecting the device or the blade.
