Wind energy is one of the most rapidly growing renewable sources of energy due to the fact
that it has little negative impact on environment. To meet the growing demand, wind turbines …

Abstract The so-called 20-20-20 targets for the European Union include a reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions by 20% compared to 1990, 20% of primary energy from …

In the dynamic analyses of offshore wind turbines subjected to the external vibration
sources, the wind turbines are normally assumed in the parked condition and the blades are …

The globally booming renewable power industry has stimulated an unprecedented interest
in metals as key infrastructure components. Many economies with different endowments and …

Over the years, the wind energy industry has grown rapidly because of its eco-friendly and
sustainability features. The development of wind industry demands larger wind turbines …

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are the largest rotating structures on the earth.
Dynamically sensitive structures such as these must be protected in these environments to …

The paper presents a detailed review of the state-of-the-art research activities on structural
reliability analysis of wind turbines between the 1990s and 2017. We describe the reliability …

It is important to understand the vibration response and fatigue characteristics of the wind
turbine structure. The fatigue reliability of the tower flange and bolt is studied in this paper …

The vibration mitigation of a monopile Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) under wind and sea
wave excitation is investigated, incorporating dynamic Vibration Control systems (VCS). The …

Modern multi-megawatt wind turbines are composed of slender, flexible, and lightly damped
blades and towers. These components exhibit high susceptibility to wind-induced vibrations …
