Long-term fatigue analysis of multi-planar tubular joints for jacket-type offshore wind turbine in time domain
Abstract
Long-term fatigue analysis of welded multi-planar tubular joints for a fixed jacket offshore wind turbine designed for a North Sea site in a water depth of 70 m is performed. The dynamic response of the jacket support structure due to wind and wave loads is calculated by using a decoupled procedure with good accuracy (Gao et al., 2010). Hot-spot stresses at failure-critical locations of each reference brace for 4 different tubular joints (DK, …
