As one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources, wind power is promoting the
global primary energy structure to accelerate towards the direction of cleanliness and low …

This study presented an equivalent modeling method for analysis of the fundamental
harmonic response of the spatial repetitive lattice structures with hysteretic nonlinear joints …

Steel–concrete hybrid towers have been proposed for onshore tall wind turbine tower
installations. Their bottom sections are built with concrete and top sections with steel. The …

With wind farms expanding into seismically active areas, wind turbines face the combined
hazard of wind and earthquakes. Strong winds often accompany strong earthquakes, posing …

A participation factor formulation is developed to determine the importance of each natural
frequency due to rotor blades induced forces and moments. This factor can be used to …

This paper deals with a limit load assessment and preliminary experimental testing of a
lattice-type steel tower used to support a newly designed, prototype small wind turbine …

In order to investigate the effect of a baseline control system (BCS) on dynamic and fatigue
characteristics of modern wind turbines, the simulation results of a 5-MW wind turbine …

Currently, the construction process of large offshore platforms worldwide involves building
the topside and hull separately and then having them integrated. Jacking technology is …

The primary cause of joint slip is the construction clearance between the bolt shank and the
bolt hole at assembly. Slippage corresponds to the relative displacement of a bolted joint …

A prototype of a telescopic pole for wind energy production with low environmental impact
and its lifting system for a 60–250 kW turbine and a height of 30 m have been designed and …
