... ABSTRACT The limit state of a newly proposed floating wind turbine concept, in terms of ultimate structural load and fatigue damage load, is studied in the present work. This novel floating structure utilizes a triple-column spar platform to support the wind turbine. An aero-hydro-servo-elastic...

... of the novelty concept. Aero-hydro-servo-elastic coupled simulations are performed. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the triple-column Spar floating wind turbine has a better dynamic performance compared with a single-column concept, in terms of platform motion, tower base structural loads and mooring line...

... structural loads compared to open water. The difference can be attributed to ice properties like thickness, concentration, salinity, ambient temperature and its interaction with ship design variables like stem angle, flare angle (bow), hull strength etc. Several analytical, statistical, and numerical methods...

.... INTRODUCTION The various structural members of ships are in different temperatures when the vessels carry cargoes at high temperature. There will be a temperature gradient and the structures generate thermal stress due to the uneven distribution of temperature. The temperature load and structure load...

... TEU class container carrier. Numerical simulations are carried out for ship motions, nonlinear structural loads, bow slamming loads and green water on deck in extreme wave condition. The nonlinear sagging and hogging moments from the CFD analysis are successfully validated with the weakly nonlinear...

..., are compared with existing experimental results or other computations. Nonlinear effects on motion RAO and structural load are also observed in detail. INTRODUCTION There are various levels of ship motion prediction methods from 2D strip method to fully nonlinear time domain method. Among them, 2D strip...

... The wave-induced structural loads of different types of aircushion supported structures are described and compared with those of a rectangular barge having the same dimensions. The structural loads include the wave induced bending moments and shear forces along the length of the structure...
