Abstract. This paper considers the modelling of wind turbine main bearings using analytical models. The validity of simplified analytical representations used in existing work is explored by comparing main-bearing force reactions with those obtained from higher-fidelity 3D finite-element models. Results indicate that there is good agreement between the analytical and 3D models in the case of a non-moment-reacting support (such as for double-row spherical roller bearings), but the same does not hold in the moment-reacting case (such as for double-row tapered roller bearings). Therefore, a new analytical model is developed in which moment reactions at the main bearing are captured through the addition of torsional springs. This latter model is shown to significantly improve the agreement between analytical and 3D models in the moment-reacting case. The new analytical model is then used to investigate load characteristics, in terms of forces and moments, for this type of main bearing across different operating points and wind conditions.

The effect of current cycle on the behavior of contact resistance of clamped connectors was investigated experimentally to characterize the thermal behavior of the used clamped connector and optimizing the installation procedure in order to reduce contact resistance and ensure a lower temperature during normal operating conditions. The thermal network method is used for calculating the temperature rise of the connector when loaded by a current. The method is based on substitution of the connector geometry by a circuit consisting of thermal resistances, capacitance and heat sources. The temperature rise is determined using the network simulation program PSPICE with the corresponding thermal model libraries. The validity of the obtained results has been checked by comparing the computed values with those measured experimentally. The agreement was found satisfactory

Roller skew in roller bearings can cause heat generation and reduce bearing life. Therefore, design to minimise its occurrence is essential in bearing development. This study investigated the roller skew of a double row tapered roller bearing under various running conditions. A new system of measurement using two differential variable reluctance transducers (DVRT) was developed. It is evident that the roller skew of the double row tapered roller bearing can be measured. The shaft rotational speed has a significant effect on roller skew but the radial load has little effect.

This paper describes transient cooling technology for electronic equipment using Phase Change Materials (PCMs) and a heat sink with pin fins. We designed an electronic module including paraffin as the PCM and measured its transient temperature rise. The effects of the diameter of pin fins and heat dissipation values were investigated as design parameters. The results show that the temperature rise values were controlled by the thermal absorption effect due to the latent heat of the PCM. It is also confirmed that the proposed thermal network method with an equivalent specific heat model has strong potential for use in the analysis of electronic modules using PCMs.

Taking double-row tapered roller bearings of a rail passenger coach as research object, the analysis on convexity for tapered roller bearings has been carried out. The comparison of contact stresses at different convexity values with the ANSYS has been done, the optimal range of convexity value under a certain load has been obtained. The results show that the reasonably design of convexity can avoid or reduce the border contact stress concentration occurred between rollers and inner, outer ring raceways under certain condition. But the approximate theoretic convexity and the results obtained by Finite element analysis have a certain margin of error.
