To reduce the operation and maintenance (O&M) cost with optimized O&M strategy, this
paper proposes a fuzzy synthetic method for real-time condition assessment of wind turbine …

Conclusion An overview of the 20 selected papers for the special issue “Real-time
monitoring, prognosis, and resilient control for wind turbine systems,''has been presented …

This paper deals with an experimental and numerical dynamic characterization of two steel
wind turbines currently located in Italy. The considered steel turbines are onshore and were …

The study presents the development of a structural monitoring system installed in a 45-m-
high steel wind tower located in Italy. The installed monitoring system was composed by 16 …

Ensuring adequate tightening of bolted joints is necessary since they are more prone to
corrosion in a harsh environment under insufficient preload. To this end, this paper first …

This paper shows a part of the analysis of the development of the second generation of the
C1 wedge connections for use in offshore wind turbine supporting towers. The novelty of this …

A framework for fatigue assessment for tower bolts of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT)
taking into account the impact of preload loss due to ambient temperature creep and plastic …

In the paper, experimental studies of an asymmetric preloaded sevenbolted connection are
presented. The tightening process of the connection was carried out with a wrench …

Dry connections primarily consist of high-strength bolts and steel plates. They are commonly
used in precast structures as they maximise time efficiency in the assembly stage compared …

For the design of mechanically maintenance-free connections, the preload loss of the bolts
must be determined and considered in the design. Since parts in steel construction must …
