This paper develops a hybrid dynamic model for the analysis of nonlinear stochastic
vibration of a wind turbine's planetary gear train (PGT) with an elastic ring gear. The elastic …

This paper presents a unified framework for computing a surface to approximate a target
shape defined by discrete data points. A signed point-to-surface distance function is defined …

In operation, wind turbine gearboxes (WTGs) are subjected to variable torsional and
nontorsional loads. In addition, the manufacturing and assembly process of these devices …

Gears and gear systems, like any other mechanical system, are subjected to design
parameter, and loading uncertainties emanating from inherent randomness, manufacturing …

The dynamics of contact, stress and failure analysis of multibody systems is highly nonlinear.
Nowadays, several commercial and other analysis software dedicated for this purpose are …

Gears and Gear systems are subjected to uncertainty of design parameters and loading
caused by inherent conditions, measurement and manufacturing errors. Hence, the …

Nowadays, the reliability of wind turbine gearbox (WTG) is one of the biggest concerns
remaining in the wind industry. WTGs have been prone to early failure rather than any …

Accurate prediction of remaining useful life (RUL) will improve reliability and reduce
maintenance cost. Therefore, prognostics is essential to predict the RUL of systems and …

Prognostics is essential in decision making to prevent cost and downtime. Prognostics is
especially useful in variable loading conditions, such as loads in wind turbine gearboxes …
