Validation of Improved Sampling Concepts for Offshore Wind Turbine Fatigue Design

Fatigue damage is a design-driving phenomenon for substructures of offshore wind turbines. However, fatigue design based on numerical simulations is quite uncertain. One main reason for this uncertainty is scattering offshore conditions combined with a limited number of simulations (samples). Accord...
