Highlights Engineering Experience:
4 Years CAE Experience: (2 year professional+2 years academic)
Turbine Hub Modal Analysis 1.5/2/3/5/6MW Wind Turbine
Create dynamic simulation model for Turbine Hub with blades and main-shaft. Focus on hub natural frequency and mode shape. Extract top 20 modes with Lanczos method. Work with design engineer to change the hub structure to meet NVH requirements in Hub design.
Electrical Generator Mounting System Frequency Response Analysis (FRF)
Simplify the electrical generator mounting system with electrical generator and main-frame. Extract top 20 modes with Lanczos method. Apply modal superposition method to get frequency response function to meet design target for NVH.
Structures Strain-Stress and Fatigue Analysis (Hub/Main-frame/Bearing Housing/Hub Spacer)
Build simulation model for structure. Run strain-stress analysis to get von-mises stress. Determine S-N curve, fatigue load spectrum and unit stress. Perform fatigue analysis based on Miner Principal to get accumulative damage and fatigue life. Work with design engineer to modify model to meet design target.
Fatigue Life Predication based on Rainflow Method (Durability)
Extract cycles from load spectrum with Rainflow method. Apply Morrow and SWT fatigue method to predict fatigue life of every cycle. Base on Miner’s Rule to get accumulative damage and fatigue life.
