Comparison of S-N Curves from International Fatigue Design Standards for a Better Understanding of the Long-Term Operation of Offshore Wind Turbine Welded Foundations
Fatigue poses significant challenges for the structural integrity of monopiles, the most common type of foundation for offshore wind turbines. These structures are usually manufactured by rolling and welding together large steel plates. Offshore wind turbines are typically designed to operate for 20...
