Statistical evaluation of tubular joint SCFs from test data and finite element analyses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Stress concentration factors (SCF) derived from both FEA and measurements from laboratory experiments are associated with uncertainties. To understand these uncertainties, SCF values can be determined from a series of tests ... -
Two-body dynamic simulations of a combined semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine and torus wave energy converter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Dynamic responses of a combined wind and wave energy system which consist of a 5MW semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) and a torus-shaped wave energy converter (WEC) are investigated. In the investigated ... -
Service and inventory model for maintenance workshop in the short cycle operation region: Agent-based simulation approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tools used in the North Sea region has a high cycle and come very often to maintenance workshop to be checked, repaired if needed and prepared for the next operations. The availability of spare parts at the workshop plays ... -
Prediction of Fatigue Crack Initiation under Variable Amplitude Loading: Literature Review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Metallic materials are widely employed in engineering constructions, and one of the most common failure mechanisms in metals is fatigue failure. Even though metal fatigue has been studied for almost 160 years, many problems ... -
Applying a machine learning method for cumulative fatigue damage estimation of the IEA 15MW wind turbine with monopile support structures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Offshore support structures are critical for offshore bottom-fixed wind turbines, as they bear nearly all the mass and loading of wind turbine systems. In addition, the support structures are generally subjected to a harsh ... -
Experimental assessment of cracked tubular joints repaired with crack-deflecting holes and weld-toe grinding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tubular joints in offshore structures for energy production are exposed to cyclic loading and may experience fatigue cracking. Presently, the inspection method commonly used for such structures will primarily detect whether ... -
Utbyttbar Skibinding
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)Et oppsett for alpintski kan variere veldig basert på hvilken type skikjøring som skal gjøres og hvordan forholdene er i bakken. Hovedsakelig er det utformingen på skien som bør endres basert på om det er mye løs snø, skare ... -
Internal clearance behaviour in healthy and faulty bearings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Internal clearance is a critical parameter in bearing design and operation because it affects the bearing's performance. It can be considered as a special type of the looseness fault. Several studies indicate that rolling ... -
Literature review on thin-walled and cellular structure designs for energy absorption
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Bio-inspired structure is a topic of immense interest to researchers worldwide. In order to maximize energy absorption through biomimetic structures, this article presents bio-inspired structure particularly, thin walled ... -
