Experimental investigation of the local buckling and fatigue behavior of slender and tapered spirally welded steel tubes to enable taller wind towers
The expansion of wind and other renewable energy sources is a primary challenge facing the United States. One avenue for reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of wind generated electricity is to utilize taller towers to support turbines. Taller towers place the turbine in higher velocity w...
