Contact Simulation and Analysis on Planetary Gear of Megawatt Wind Turbines Yawing Reducer

Abstract:

.According to the operation condition of megawatt wind turbines yawing reducer, an assembly model of megawatt wind turbines yawing reducer is established, and aiming at different load conditions, the tooth surface of three teeth planetary gear model is analysised with using finite element analysis software-ANSYS ,including three-dimensional nonlinear contact analysis and structural finite element analysis which simulates contact stress of engagement pairs during the operation process of planetary gear. The results indicated that when the torque is M₁=100N·m, the maximum stress on the engagement pairs is 177.584MPa; when the torque is and M₂=300N·m, the maximum stress on the engagement pairs is 329.607MPa, which were less than the yield limit of planetary gear materials, but it can meet the design and operation requirements of planetary gear of megawatt wind turbines yawing reducer.
