Welded features in the tubular joints are one of the most severe sources of fatigue failure in
supporting structure for offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Therefore, fatigue resistance …

The stress concentration factors (SCFs) in tubular T-joints reinforced with external ring under
in-plane bending (IPB) moment are investigated. After validation of the FE model with …

The majority of tubular joints commonly found in offshore practice are multi-planar.
Investigating the effect of loaded out-of-plane braces on the values of the stress …

In the present paper, data extracted from the finite element analysis of 118 models, which
were validated against the test results obtained from an experimental study, were used to …

In this study, results of performing 324 FE analyses on 108 circular hollow section (CHS) X-
connections with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) have been used to derive a probability …

In the present research, results from the finite element (FE) stress analysis of 108 models,
validated using test data obtained from the experimental investigation, was used to propose …

Stress concentration factor (SCF) is an important parameter for the fatigue design of offshore
joints. There are many empirical equations for quick estimation of SCF in tubular joints …

The stress concentration factor (SCF) is one of the principal inputs in the fatigue reliability
analysis of tubular joints. The SCF shows substantial scatter that highlights the necessity of …

Although tubular KT-joints are commonly found in offshore jacket structures and despite the
crucial role of stress concentration factors (SCFs) in the evaluation of the tubular joint's …

As a core strategic technology industry, the wind power plays an important role in protecting
national energy reserves. The large gear component is one of the core foundation parts in …
