Fatigue Life and Strength Analysis of a Main Shaft-to-Hub Bolted Connection in a Wind Turbine

High-strength bolts are widely used in wind turbines and play a significant role in their operation. In this paper, in order to study the ultimate strength of high-strength bolts in the connection between the hub and main shaft in a 2.5 MW wind turbine with pretension effects, two kinds of finite el...
