Parallel Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbine Structures under Ultimate Loads by Shen-Haw Ju, Yu-Cheng Huang, Hsin-Hsiang Hsu

“…The test cases, with 5044 loading cases, indicate that the proposed method is fully parallel and can complete the design procedures using a few personal computers within several days. Test cases include IEC 61400-3, tropical cyclone, and seismic loads; although there are many loads to be considered, steel design is governed by a limited number of load cases, which are discussed in this paper.…”
