Fatigue Reliability and Calibration of Fatigue Design Factors for Offshore Wind Turbines

Fatigue Reliability and Calibration of Fatigue Design Factors for Offshore Wind Turbines

Consequences of failure of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) is in general lower than consequences of failure of, e.g., oil & gas platforms. It is reasonable that lower fatigue design factors can be applied for fatigue design of OWTs when compared to other fixed offshore structures. Calibration...
