Lattice structures have been used in a variety of engineering applications in aerospace,
automobile and biomedical applications. In this study, the buckling analysis of additively …

A barrier to the development of the offshore wind resource along the US Atlantic coast is a
lack of quantitative measures of the risk to offshore wind turbines (OWTs) from hurricanes …

Recent installations of jacket-type offshore wind turbines (JOWTs) in seismically active
regions have drawn increasing concerns regarding the seismic safety of JOWTs. To …

To more effectively extract the vast wind energy in marine areas, offshore wind turbines have
been constructed with slender tower and large rotor. External vibration sources such as …

Previous research has revealed shortcomings in the current Eurocode 3 (EC3) provisions for
the design of semi-compact (Class 3) cross-sections. These shortcomings arise primarily …
