Reliability Analysis of Fatigue Failure of Cast Components for Wind Turbines

Reliability Analysis of Fatigue Failure of Cast Components for Wind Turbines

Fatigue failure is one of the main failure modes for wind turbine drivetrain components made of cast iron. The wind turbine drivetrain consists of a variety of heavily loaded components, like the main shaft, the main bearings, the gearbox and the generator. The failure of each component will lead to...
