It is important to understand the vibration response and fatigue characteristics of the wind
turbine structure. The fatigue reliability of the tower flange and bolt is studied in this paper …

Wind turbines are typically designed for a target service life of 20 years because of fatigue-
related failures of the moving components such as the rotors and blades. Designing the …

In this study, three-dimensional finite element models of high-mast light poles without and
with spiral helical strakes were built using ANSYS software to investigate their vibration …

Cracks that develop during galvanization of High Mast Illumination Poles (HMIPs), often at
the pole-to-base plate connection, are an important concern to US fabricators and highway …

Fatigue fracture can occur in many components such as fasteners and tubular pole
structures. In this paper, fatigue failure mechanisms have been described and the …

Based on translation models, both Gaussian and non‐Gaussian wind fields are generated
using the harmony superposition method for examining the reliability of a typical wind …

Tube-to-transverse plate stiffened connection details are widely used in cantilevered sign
support structures in New Jersey and many other states. This stiffened fillet-welded …

Hot-dip galvanizing is a protective coating process widely-used to prevent corrosion
damage in steel structures. Although the protective coating greatly reduces corrosion rates …

This paper presents the results of high-cycle fatigue testing of high-mast illumination poles
(HMIPs) with pre-existing cracks at the pole-to-base plate connection detail. Resonant …

Failure Analysis-Structural Health Monitoring of Structure and Infrastructure Components is
a collection of chapters written by academicians, researchers, and practicing engineers from …
