摘要: Tower is an important fundamental component of large-scale wind turbines. The fatigue performance of the tower welded part directly affects the running safety and reliability of wind turbines. A fatigue life predicting method for the longitudinal welding seam of the tower is proposed in this paper. Under the precondition of satisfying the limit strength, the time series stress of each working condition is obtained by DIN18800-4 section stress calculation. Combined with the rain-flow counting method and the Miner linear cumulative damage theory, the fatigue life of the tower longitudinal weld is predicted. The results show that the tower structure meets the design requirement, and the feasibility and effectiveness of the method are verified.
