  • Fatigue reliability analysis of wind turbine tower under random wind load
    Structural Safety, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jianbin Zhao, Jing Yao, Armand Robinson Mouafo Teifouet, Liyun Sun, Zhenyu Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract It is important to understand the vibration response and fatigue characteristics of the wind turbine structure. The fatigue reliability of the tower flange and bolt is studied in this paper. Firstly, by using the orthogonal expansion method and the Numerical-Theoretical method of random dynamic action, the random fluctuating wind field is expanded into a set of scattered points to calculate the wind load. The numerical calculation of the dynamic response of the wind turbine is verified with the measured data. Then, a fatigue Probability calculation method based on the Probability Density evolution method is proposed. It is an effective method to substitute the fatigue damage D obtained by a rain flow counting method into the Probability Density evolution equation to solve the Probability Density of fatigue damage. In the end, a 1.5 MW wind turbine tower was taken as an example for analyzing the fatigue damage of its flange and bolt which considers the wind speed and wind direction distribution. By using the Probability Density evolution method, the evolution Probability Density Curve clusters of the structural responses can be given accurately and quantitatively; thus, the reliability of the structure under random load can be conveniently obtained.

  • a methodology to determine a conditional Probability Density distribution surface from s n data
    International Journal of Fatigue, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jianming Zhai, Xiaoyang Li
    Abstract:

    A conditional Probability Density distribution surface (CPDDS) is constructed by two functions in this paper. One is the function of population mean and the stress level; the other is the function of standard deviation and the stress level. The surface represents the Probability Density Curve of fatigue life changing with the stress level. A new definition of fatigue limit as well as the determination method is given in this paper according to the small Probability event of CPDDS. The proposed method can save considerable cost and time in the determination of fatigue limit.
