The dovetail blade-root connection and the spline coupling of gas turbine aero engines experience fretting. [ 3 ] Another example in which fretting corrosion may occur are the pitch bearings of modern wind turbines , which operate under oscillation motion to control the power and loads of the turbine.
In their simplest form these system comprise a simple roller bearing connection between the tower and the nacelle and a tail fin mounted on the nacelle and designed in such a way that it turns the wind turbine rotor into the wind by exerting a "corrective" torque to the nacelle. Therefore, the power of the wind is responsible for the rotor ...
Rotor hub and pitch bearing without mounted rotor blades. The pitch bearing, also named blade bearing, is a component of modern wind turbines which connect the rotor hub and the rotor blade. [1] The bearing allows the required oscillation to control the loads and power of the wind turbine. The pitch system brings the blade to the desired ...
An example of the effect of rotor blade number is the UH-72 (EC145 variant); the A model had four blades, but the UH-72B was changed to five blades which reduced vibration. [24] Other blade numbers are possible, for example, the CH-53K , a large military transport helicopter has a seven blade main rotor.
