Shaft crack is a very dangerous and frequent fault in rotating machine, but how to locate and configure it is just an inverse problem and not easy to tackle. In this paper, a genetic algorithms based method for shaft crack detection is proposed and described, which formulates the shaft crack...

Gearbox transmission system is the major part of the wind turbine drive train. Due to the manufacturing and assembling errors, lubrication condition, wear and uncertainties in material and geometric properties, the system parameters, including mesh stiffness, transmission error and damping of...
