Fracture analysis and improvement of the main shaft of wind turbine based on finite element method

For the main shaft of wind turbine of certain type, shaft fracture occurs at the variable section of the shaft during early stage of operation. In order to validate the failure analysis, finite element analysis of the main shaft was performed. The analysis results demonstrate that there is a severe...
