Experimental tests of wind turbine main shaft motion on a laboratory test rig

This paper introduces research and discusses findings dealing with failure modes of gearboxes in wind turbines. These gearboxes fail in general after five years which is far below the expected design life of twenty years of a wind turbine. The research is taking a more holistic approach towards find...
