  • Patent number: 9810203
    Abstract: A method for determining total damage to at least one rotating component of a drive train in a system, in particular a wind or wave energy system, includes determining over time during operation of the system a variable characterizing a rotational speed of the component and a variable characterizing a torque transmitted by the component. A load collective is determined in a calculator unit from the temporal progression of the variables, and the total damage is determined from a comparison of the determined load collective and a reference load collective.

  • Patent number: 6763568
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for mechanically joining stacked, plate-shaped objects, especially metal sheets by means of punch riveting with a semitubular rivet while using tools placed above and below the objects, whereby the semitubular rivet linearly penetrates into the objects. The inventive method is characterized in that, during the axial feed motion of the semitubular rivet, the upper tool and/or a portion of the lower tool is/are subjected to a wobbling additional movement in a radial and/or tangential direction. The invention also relates to an apparatus and to the semitubular rivet which are used for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 6607464
    Abstract: A transmission, especially for wind power installations includes a planetary stage on the input side that is mounted upstream of at least one gear stage. The planetary stage includes at least two power-splitting planetary gears that are mounted in parallel. A differential gear that is mounted downstream of the power-splitting planetary gears compensates for an unequal load distribution between the individual planetary gears caused by their parallel disposition.
