The Importance of Fault Prediction in a Tidal Turbine. Misalignment and Cracks in the Shaft

This study is focused on the early failure prediction of underwater Tidal Turbines. These types of turbines undergo strong torques due to ocean currents which also causes rapid changes in direction and speed which subjected to important loads and misalignments. The main objective of this study is th...
