Abstract:Recently, a large amount of massive and large wind turbines have been constructed, and many of them are located in areas prone to seismic activity. These structures are generally vulnerable to lateral loads, such as wind loads, wave loads, and especially seismic loads. With the purpose of reducing the seismic damage, a damper system is utilized to control the vibration of NREL 5-MW offshore wind turbine (OWT) with jacket support structure combined with a diagonal bracing friction damper system. Seismic perform… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
