One of the most important criteria in the design of fixed offshore wind turbine structures is fatigue resistance. There is an unabated need for research in order to improve and optimize current design methods. There are ...

Nowadays, much attention is payed to the development of renewable energy resources. Wind energy plays a major role in this issue. That is why there is a growing interest for improving the design process of wind turbines ...

The design of support structures of offshore wind turbines contains high number of design variables that influence load characteristics and structural responses. These variables are stochastic and cause many uncertainties. ...

Nowadays, with respect to trend of Kyoto protocol, many producers turn to renewable energy resources. That leads to a fact that more than 75% of new power capacity installations in EU in the year 2015 are renewables. The ...
