Fatigue Crack Growth and Stress‐Based Assessment of a Wind Turbine Main‐Bearing Model Under Simulated and Monitoring‐Based Inputs
Wind turbine main‐bearing crack assessment requires consistent treatment of material crack growth and operating‐load uncertainty. Fatigue crack‐growth tests were performed on GCr15 0.5‐T CT specimens at , 0.10, and 0.50, and Paris parameters were identified. Finite element simulation at agreed with experiments within...
