Fibre ropes offer beneficial properties for mooring of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). However, the mooring line?s stiffness is both load-history and load-rate dependent. A quasi-static stiffness is observed for slow loading, with a higher stiff...

Single shear or single lap joints are the most prevalent type of adhesive joints used in advanced engineering applications, where they are exposed to fatigue loadings in their services. Although their mechanical performances under static loading have bee...

Cracking is an inherent characteristic of a reinforced-concrete (RC) element subjected to tension or bending. The crack width growth with loading depends on the rebar-concrete bond behavior. RC bridges are designed under strict requirements to ensure the...

Consequences of failure of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) is in general lower than consequences of failure of, e.g., oil & gas platforms. It is reasonable that lower fatigue design factors can be applied for fatigue design of OWTs when compared to other f...
