Element Analysis

This paper presents a dynamic finite element analysis model for a wind turbine gearbox in which a number of internal gears mesh with each other in a complex pattern. Differing from the conventional dynamic models in which the detailed gear teeth are fully modeled or gears and shafts are replaced with lumped masses, the tooth contact between a pair of gears is modeled using a spring element. The equivalent spring constant is determined by computing the stiffness of a gear tooth using a finite element analysis. The numerical accuracy of the proposed dynamic model is verified through a benchmark experiment of a gearbox with simple gear transmission system. In addition, the natural frequencies and dynamic responses of a 5 MW wind turbine gearbox that are obtained by the proposed modeling technique are given to support its validity and effectiveness.

Good Consistency

For the sun gear shaft in wind turbine gearbox, the deformation will occur on the inner spline because of the thermal inserting of ring gear. So, the spline pair should be tooth relieved to avoid decrease of backlash and conflict of copulate parts. Based on the finite element analysis results, the deformation caused by the thermal inserting on the inner spline was calculated, and the theoretical tooth relieving curve was got. The practical thermal inserting deformation on the spline was measured. And the results indicate that the measuring deformations are in good consistency with the deformation calculated by finite element analysis method. The spline deformation and tooth relieving calculation method can provide a reference for the tooth relieving of the spline on long structure sun gear shaft in 1.5MW wind turbine gearbox.

Directivity Characteristics

We propose a model to give us a method to investigate the characteristic three-dimensional directivity in an arbitrarily configured flexible electret-based loudspeaker. In recent years, novel electret loudspeakers have attracted much interest due to their being lightweight, paper thin, and possessing excellent mid- to high-frequency responses. Increasing or decreasing the directivity of an electret loudspeaker makes it excellent for adoption to many applications, especially for directing sound to a particular area or specific audio location. Herein, we detail a novel electret loudspeaker that possesses various directivities and is based on various structures of spacers instead of having to use multichannel amplifiers and a complicated digital control system. In order to study the directivity of an electret loudspeaker based on an array structure which can be adopted for various applications, the horizontal and vertical polar directivity characteristics as a function of frequency were simulated by a finite-element analysis model. To validate the finite-element analysis model, the beam pattern of the electret loudspeaker was measured in an anechoic room. Both the simulated and experimental results are detailed in this article to validate the various assertions related to the directivity of electret cell-based smart speakers.

Friction Lining

Brake friction lining material is the critical element of a braking system, since it provides friction resistance to the rotating drum for controlling automobiles. The present study involves wear analysis of newly developed eco-friendly non-asbestos friction lining material for automotive drum brake applications using experimental study, finite-element analysis, and microstructural investigations. Theoretical interpretation of braking force at different automobile speeds was derived using fundamentals. Specimen drum brake liner with eco-friendly material compositions was produced using an industrial hot compression molding process at one of the manufacturer. The surface wear of the liner was measured using an effective and accurate method. Furthermore, a finite-element analysis model was developed considering actual operating conditions and various components of the drum brake system. The model was elaborated for various result outcomes, including Von-Mises stresses and total deformation of components of the drum brake, and further used to estimate the surface wear of the friction lining material in terms of transverse directional deformation. Finally, microstructural analysis of the friction lining material was carried out using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. From the results, it is seen that the developed friction lining material is wear resistant. The finite-element analysis model can be effectively utilized to study the tribological characteristics of friction lining materials.
