Parametric Modeling and Simulation of Taper-Lock Connection in Wind Turbine Spindle Based on ANSYS

Abstract:

Taking taper-lock Connection in Wind Turbine Spindle as research object, the paper analyzes the relativity of structural sizes and builds the parametric structural model by means of a way APDL. By using the non-liner finite element software ANSYS, the stress of taper-lock on the limit load conditions is analyzed, then contact stress and strain of the planet carrier and spindle are discussed. This is useful to the choice of assembly condition during taper-lock, planet carrier and spindle and providing theoretical data.
