Analysis of Stress-Strain State and Contact Pressures on Surfaces of Kaplan Runner Blade Bearing Bronze Bushes
An analysis of the existing and prospective blade seal designs for Kaplan runners was performed.The selected design type provides the maximum ecological safety for Kaplan runners.A 3D model of runner hub sector with the trunnion, inner and outer bushes of blade trunnion was generated taking into account the cyclic symmetry of the runner design base
