Research on structural fatigue residual life of pitch bearing rings after pre-damage by ZHANG Mingqian, CHEN Guanci, DING Yinke, LIU Minghan, MAO Huaping

“…ObjectiveThe corrosion fatigue fracture of the wind turbine pitch bearing is a major failure mode, often leading to the blade detachment and shutdown. To this end, a finite element model of replacing the whole pitch bearing with a local one was proposed to investigate the structural fatigue remaining life of pitch bearings after corrosion of the raceways.MethodsA combined method of finite element software Ansys and three-dimensional fracture mechanics software Franc3D was adopted to simulate the corrosion pit by inserting a pre-damage at the location of the maximum equivalent stress in the bearing ring. …”
