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 …

The fatigue limit state (FLS) often drives the design of offshore wind turbine (OWT)
substructures in European waters. Assessing fatigue damage over the intended design life …

A suitable substructure for Offshore Wind Turbines plays an important role since it can
efficiently reduce the financial costs of wind power projects. According to the track record of …

The design of the support structure of offshore wind turbines (OWT) requires the dynamic
characterization of the complete structural system, including the soil-foundation subsystem …

Existing methods for optimizing wind array layouts typically use power or cost objectives and
rarely consider reliability‐based objectives. Component and system failure rates, however …

This paper presents an object-oriented optimization framework for engineering optimization
using the Matlab programming syntax. The novelty of the developed framework lies in its …

In this research, four surrogate models appropriate for nonlinear relationship prediction
including the Least Squares Support Vector Regression (LSSVR), the Kriging model, the …

With increasing power classes of offshore wind turbines, more and more influence factors in
different life phases of jacket substructures should be considered to improve the feasibility …

Conceptual design is crucial for designing offshore jacket substructures because it sets the
direction for the entire design process. Nevertheless, conventional simulation-based …

The structural optimization problem of jacket substructures for offshore wind turbines is
commonly regarded as a pure tube dimensioning problem, minimizing the entire mass of the …
