Stress Concentration Factors for Multi-planar Tubular Joints Subjected to Axial Loading

The support structure for an offshore wind turbine is subjected to combined hydrodynamic loads and aerodynamic loads. The tubular joints are the weakest component leading to fatigue failure of the whole structure. Based on the multi-pile foundation structure which is used widely in China, the typica...
