Parallel Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbine Structures under Ultimate Loads

This paper investigates efficient design of offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structures under ultimate loads and proposes three schemes to overcome excessive computer time due to many required external loads. The first is the assumption of a rigid support structure to find blade wind forces, so t...
