In this study, an appropriate proportion of yaw stiffness and damping is proposed to greatly
improve the fatigue life at the tubular joints of offshore wind turbine (OWT) jacket support …

Jacket support structure is the main support form in medium water depth for bottom fixed
offshore wind turbine. Topology optimization is presented in this paper for an efficient …

The need for cost-effective support structure designs for offshore wind turbines has led to
continued interest in the development of design optimization methods. So far, almost no …

This paper proposes a topology optimization method considering fatigue constraints for the
jacket support structure of offshore wind turbine. Jacket support structure is an important …

In conventional fail-safe optimization of frame structures the damage is usually modelled as
complete removal of one or more members. We propose and incorporate two additional …

The search for more and better wind resources pushes offshore wind farms further into
deeper waters, where jacket support structures become a competitive alternative to …

The design of offshore support structures for wind turbines of 10 MW capacity presents a
challenge due to potential resonance problems from the low rotor speeds during operation …

The present work presents a novel approach for semi‐analytic adjoint sensitivity‐based
design optimization for nonproportional fatigue damage. In order to apply fatigue damage in …

This paper developed an optimization procedure using Powell's method with symbolic
search variables, so any one or more parameters in structural designs can be optimal …

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 …
