Circular economy and renewable energy infrastructure such as offshore wind farms are
often assumed to be developed in synergy as part of sustainable transitions. Offshore wind …

Wind turbines are structures predominantly subjected to dynamic loads throughout their
period of life. In that sense, fatigue design plays a central role. Particularly, support structure …

Offshore wind turbines are exposed during their serviceable lifetime to a wide range of loads
from aero-, hydro-and structural dynamics. This complex loading scenario will have an …

A significant percentage of the existing wind turbines are reaching their theoretical design
life. Therefore, important decisions about decommissioning or life extension will have to be …

The implementation of machine learning methods for structural health monitoring
applications has proven to be very effective, especially in detecting damage and …

The sustained development over the past decades of the offshore wind industry has seen
older wind farms beginning to reach their design lifetime. This has led to a greater interest in …

A better understanding of the intense interaction between the turbulent inflow and rotating
wind turbine components is critical to accelerating the path towards larger wind turbines …

Fatigue has become a major consideration factor in modern offshore wind farms as
optimized design codes, and a lack of lifetime reserve has made continuous fatigue life …

Substructures of offshore wind turbines are becoming older and beginning to reach their
design lifetimes. Hence, lifetime extensions for offshore wind turbines are becoming not only …

The mutual and simultaneous action of external variable forces on (offshore) wind support
structures causes fatigue. Fatigue analysis in this context relies on 10-minute-long strain …
