Structural Optimization Method for the Transition Section in Composite Bucket Foundations of Offshore Wind Turbines

Structural Optimization Method for the Transition Section in Composite Bucket Foundations of Offshore Wind Turbines

A two-step structural optimization method was proposed to select the transition section of a composite bucket foundation (CBF). In the first step, based on the variable density method, a solid isotropic microstructures with penalization (SIMP) interpolation model was established under specific load...
