Abstract
Wind mill yaw is made in the structure of spur gear and it has a bearing for rotation .It is placed between tower and nacelle. This yaw is rotated by yaw drive and it has a motor and also the same spur gear in structure.Spur gear is the simplest & broadly used in power transmission system. A spur Gear is commonly subjected to bending stress which in turn to teeth collapse. However it is observed that performance of the spur gear is not satisfactory in certain applications and therefore it is required to explore some alternate materials to improve the performance of the spur gears. Composite materials provide adequate strength with weight reduction and they are emerging as a better alternative for replacing metallic gears. In this work, A metallic gear of Alloy Steel is replaced by the composite gear of E-GFRP(Glass fiber reinforced polymer). Such Composites material provides much improved mechanical properties such as better strength to weight ratio, more hardness, and hence less chances of failure. In this work, an experimental work is done with replacing metallic gear with composite material such as E-GFRP. so as to increase the working life of the gears to improve overall performance of Wind mill. Experiment is carried out on GFRP Spur gear by using universal testing machine. In this machine fabricated yaw(GFRP spur gear) is placed with the help of jig and fixture and this fixture is made by Hardened cast iron material. In this study to find out the maximum strength of GFRP material was calculated
Keywords- Composite Material, E-GFRP, Bending stress, Static Load, Universal testing machine Maximum strength.yaw drive, yaw motor
