Evaluation of Corrosion-Fatigue Behaviour in Offshore Wind Turbine Substructures

University of Strathclyde EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures

Originally, the inside surface of offshore wind turbine structures was designed to be dry, and so ‘in air’ fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) laws should have been relevant. Read more
