Numerical analysis of hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatigue of wind turbine bearings

Offshore wind parks at locations further from the shore often involve serious difficulties, e.g. the maintenance. The bearings of offshore wind turbines are prone to suffer hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatigue (HA-RCF). Three important aspects linked with bearing failures are being extensivel...
