The design of monopile foundations for offshore wind turbine structures is dominated by requirements resulting from serviceability and fatigue limit state. To fulfil these criteria, the load deflection-behaviour and therefore ...

The present report summarizes the theoretical modelling and experimental investigation results of the study on the direct thermal methane cracking. This work is a part of the LIMTECH-Project (Liquid Metal Technologies) ...

The development within the offshore wind sector towards more powerful turbines combined with increasing water depth for new wind parks is challenging both the designer as well as the manufacturer of bottom fixed support ...

Grouted connections are frequently used as structural detail of offshore wind turbines and platforms for the load transferring connection between piles and support structure. At latticed substructures this connection is ...

The paper describes the results of two experimental investigations aimed to extend the abilities of a neutron radiography to visualize two-phase processes in the electromagnetically (EM) driven melt flow. In the first ...

This paper presents an experimental investigation that focuses on some predominant flow features that arise around surface mounted vertical obstacles which are exposed to a transient flow. The flow under investigation is ...

Hot forming as a coupled thermo-mechanical process comprises of numerous material phenomena with a corresponding impact on the material behavior during and after the forming process. Within the subsequent heat treatment, ...

The phase field method has gathered significant attention in the past decade due to its versatile applications in engineering contexts, including fatigue crack propagation modeling. Particularly, the phase field cohesive ...

Environmental hazards are caused by uranium mining legacies and enhanced radioactivity in utilized groundwater and surface water resources. Knowledge of uranium speciation in these waters is essential for predicting ...

The paper presents a new type of cross-section for truss elements in an offshore construction's sub structure framework. By combining modern materials, such as ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and carbon fibre ...
