In this paper prediction of the fatigue reliability of a fixed jacket offshore wind turbine designed for a North Sea site in a water depth of 70 m is performed. The longterm statistical distribution of stress ranges of tubular joints is obtained by combination of time domain simulation for representative sea states. The load histories are normalised to ensure that fatigue design criteria based ...

The potential collision between the ship and pipe piles of jacket structure brings huge risks to safety an offshore platform. Due their high energy-absorbing capacity, honeycomb structures have been widely used as impact protectors in various engineering applications. This paper proposes a data-driven intelligent approach for prediction response honeycomb-reinforced under collision. In proposed...

Explosion and fire on an offshore rig can lead to its minor or complete damage and sinking which means the loss of life or environmental pollution. Hence the use of techniques such as blast wall is crucial to reduce the detrimental effects. These blast walls are designed for explosion wave of length between 0.1 to 1 of load mainly to protect the personnel and critical sections. In this research...

Reset controllers are commonly used to smooth the transient response of systems. We use this technique to improve a standard baseline pitch controller for offshore wind turbines (WTs). The introduction of this strategy enhances the overall performance of the WT. In particular, the fore-aft and side-to-side accelerations of the WT tower are significantly reduced, whilst a steadier power output i...
