BACKGROUND A growing global population and an increasing demand for energy services
are expected to result in substantially greater deployment of clean energy sources. Wind …

To achieve a design with the desired stiffness, strength, and durability at the component
level, topology optimization has been practiced and was effective in the design of …

Monopiles are the most commonly used foundation types for offshore wind turbines. This
study investigates numerically and experimentally the effects of breaking wave impact on a …

Offshore wind turbines are getting larger in terms of dimensions to maximize power
generation. Large wind turbine offshore structures can be installed in deep water locations …

This paper proposes a topology optimization methodology for offshore wind turbine (OWT)
jacket structure design in the concept phase. First of all, modal analysis and load calculation …

Dielectric elastomers (DEs), as smart materials, are characterized by light weight, good
energy harvesting (EH) performance, and stiffness and damping effect, and therefore can …

This paper presents a hybrid monopile foundation for offshore wind turbines. It is an ultra-
high performance concrete-filled double skin steel tubular structure (CFDST) used as a …

Pile foundations are widely used to support offshore wind turbines due to their cost
effectiveness and rapid constructions. Offshore piles must be designed with enough capacity …

In this study, the monopile of a 10 MW offshore wind turbine (OWT) is designed for a specific
ocean site, and a new soil-structure interaction (SSI) framework is developed for the aero …

The probabilistic-based design method is gradually gaining attention in the wind industry
because it provides more accurate modeling of uncertainty variables than that of traditional …
