To increase the contribution of offshore wind energy to the global energy mix in an
economically sustainable manner, it is required to reduce the costs associated with the …

Detecting subsurface defects in structural members is a challenging yet important part of
condition assessment of structures. Existing methods in this regard are either based on …

The prestressed concrete–steel hybrid (PCSH) wind turbine tower, characterized by
replacing the lower part of the traditional full-height steel tube wind turbine tower with a …

The tower plays a crucial role in wind turbine systems. However, the design and optimization
of configuration parameters have traditionally been lacking in intelligent methods. This study …

The aluminium alloy front subframe of an automobile was developed through multi-
operating condition topology optimization and multi-objective optimization methods. By …

This study investigates the effect of tip-velocity constraints on system levelized cost of energy
(LCOE). The results indicate that a change in maximum tip speed from 80 to 100~ m/s could …

The paper presents a comprehensive, complex, numerical, optimization methodology
(computational framework) dedicated for supporting structures of small-scale wind turbines …

Tower cost makes up an important part in the whole wind turbine construction especially for
offshore wind farms. The main method to reduce tower cost is to reduce tower weight by …

The paper presents an applied methodology and the obtained results for numerical
optimization and design study of a guyed mast structure intended for supporting a 3 kW …

A blowout preventer (BOP) is a large valve that encases an oil well on the surface. The valve
may be closed while drilling if overpressure from a reservoir causes formation fluids such as …
