Buckling Analysis for Wind Turbine Tower Design: Thrust Load versus Compression Load Based on Energy Method

Buckling Analysis for Wind Turbine Tower Design: Thrust Load versus Compression Load Based on Energy Method

Tubular steel towers are the most common design solution for supporting medium-to-high-rise wind turbines. Notwithstanding, historical failure incidence records reveal buckling modes as a common type of failure of shell structures. It is thus necessary to revisit the towers’ performance against bend...
