Fatigue design and analysis of offshore and energy wind structures

Fatigue design and analysis of offshore and energy wind structures

Innhold / content
Dette kurset vil fokusere på historiske utmattingsulykker, grunnleggende innføring i utmatting med testing og avanserte utmattingsmetoder. Forbindelser med sveiser og bolter vil bli dekket. Typiske utmattingsfølsomme konstruksjoner som understell, flytere og vindturbinkonstruksjoner vil bli dekket. Relevante eksempler vil bli inkludert. Kurset vil hovedsakelig være basert på offshorestandarder som DNV RP C203.

/ This course will aim on focusing on historic fatigue accidents, basic fatigue introduction with testing and advanced fatigue methods. Connections with welds and bolts will be covered. Typical fatigue sensitive structures will be covered such as jackets, floaters and wind turbine structures. Relevant examples will be included. The course will mainly be based on offshore standards such as DNV RP C203.

PROGRAM (main topics)
• Fatigue history and accidents
