The installation phase is a critical stage during the lifecycle of an offshore wind turbine. This
paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the technical aspects of offshore wind turbine …

Global wind energy has developed rapidly in recent years, and the offshore wind turbines
(OWTs) have been applied to much more applications. Because the support structure of an …

The sustainable development of the offshore wind and wave energy sectors requires
optimising the exploitation of the resources, and it is in relation to this and the shared …

A review is provided focusing on the uncertainties in fatigue loads, damage and crack
growth to be incorporated in reliability assessments. The complex fatigue loads originating …

In recent years, the offshore wind power industry has developed rapidly all over the world in
response to the gradual depletion of fossil fuel energy sources and concerns over …

Due to the high level of fatigue loads as well as a large number of load cycles caused by
wind and wave loads together, fatigue performance of welded connections is a design …

The paper presents an application of Structural Health Monitoring system based on Fibre
Bragg Grating sensors dedicated to an offshore wind turbine support structure (tripod) …

The climate emergency has prompted rapid and intensive research into sustainable,
reliable, and affordable energy alternatives. Offshore wind has developed and exceeded all …

This paper aims to introduce a strain-interfaced local digital twin solution for a welded
circular hollow section (CHS) X-joint subjected to brace axial loading. The solution …

The objective of this work is to carry out a fatigue damage assessment of a fixed offshore
wind turbine support structure due to combined wave and wind–induced loading …
