Marine structures including offshore wind turbines (OWTs) always work under cyclic loads, which arouses much attention on the fatigue design. The tripod substructure is one of the typical foundation forms for fixed OWTs. The three-planar tubular Y-joint (3Y joint) is one of the important components in fatigue design as it is most likely to have cracks. With the existence of the multiplanar interaction effect, calculating the hot spot stress (HSS) of 3Y joints is complicated. To assist with fatigue design, the distributions of stress concentration factor (SCF) and multiplanar interaction factor (MIF) along weld toe curves induced by the out-of-plane bending moment are explored in this study. An FE analysis method was first developed and verified against experimental results. This method was applied to build a numerical database including 1920 FE models covering common ranges of geometric parameters. A parametric study has been carried out to reveal the distribution patterns of SCF and MIF. After multidimensional nonlinear fittings, SCF and MIF distribution formulas have been proposed. Accuracy and reliability checking prove that the proposed formulas are suitable for calculating the HSS of 3Y joints.

일본에 의해 발사된 ADEOS 위성에 탑재된 NSCAT(NASA Scatterometer)은 고밀도(25 km) 해상풍 측정을 위한 최초의 관측기기이다. 비록 전원장치 고장으로 1997년 6월 작동을 중지하였지만, 작동하던 9개월동안 해양기상학자들에게 최초로 직접 관측한 해상풍, 특히 한국 근해의 해상풍을 연구하는 기회를 제공하였다. 본 연구에서는 1997년 1월부터 1997년 6월까지의 월평균 해상바람장과 바람응력컬을 보여준다. 1월평균 한국 근해의 바람장은 강한 북서풍(8 m/s)이 우세하였으며 가장 강한 바람은 블라디보스톡 근해의 바람(12 m/s)이었다. 동해 서부 해역 즉 우리나라 근해의 해상풍은 산맥에 의해 영향을 받았으며 이 지형으로 인해 변화한 바람은 기압도를 근거로 추정된 지금까지의 바람응력컬 값보다 5배 정도 큰 바람응력컬 값을 유발하였다. 스버드럽 해수수송량(Sverdrup transport) 계산은 겨울철 바람이 동한한류의 방향을 남향에서 북향으로 바꾸는 가능성을 보여주었다. 북한 근해에서 바람응력컬에 의한 해수침강속도는 최대 월 45 m정도이었고, 바람에 의한 해수 침강이 바람에 의한 강한 혼합과 더불어 동해중층수 형성에 좋은 조건을 이 해역에 만들어 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

$\beta$-효과를 포함한 원통 용기 내의 상하층유체의 하충운동을 하충수와 같은 밀도를 갖는 외부유체를 주입하여 야기시키고 상층수와 같은 유체를 유입 및 유출시켜 지형류 조절에 의한 경계면의 변형 및 이에 따른 상층운동 특성을 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 특 히 유입-유출 위치를 변경시키고 동시에 유입과 유출양을 다르게 하여 상층수에 해상 풍의 효과를 첨가하였다. 실험의 목적은 극전선 형성과 관련하여 유입-유출 경로(대만 난류의 유입-쓰가루, 쏘야 유출)를 결정짓는 외부 인자를 파악하고자 함이다. 유입, 유출양이 같은 경우 유입수의 경로는 서안에 따라 북상하다가 이안후 위도에 평행하게 유출된 반면 상층수에 해상풍의 영향을 주었을시 서안 경계류의 분기(negative curl of wind stress 효과시), 남향의 서안 경계류에 의한 유입수의 내부로 침투(positive curl of wind stress 효과시) 등의 현상을 보여준다. 한편 유입-유출의 위치를 변경 시켜 유입수의 위치를 서안경계에 두었을 시 유입수의 경로가 경계면의 지형류 조절에 의한 서안에 근접하게 북상후 유출 (negative curl), 동안에 근접하게 북상후 유출 (positive curl)의 특성을 보여준다. 북부의 반시계방향의 흐름이 유입수의 북방 한계 를 결정짓는 역할을 하고 있음도 관찰되었다.

In the 2000s, a lot of cable-type grand bridges are being built in consideration of economic aspects such as the reduction of logistics costs and the distribution of traffic volume due to rapid economic development. In addition, because the recently installed grand bridges are designed in an aesthetic form that matches the surrounding environment as well as the original function of the road bridge, and serves as a milestone in an area and is used as an excellent tourism resource, attracting many vehicles and people, there is an urgent need for a safety structure that can ensure the safety of not only vehicles but also people. In order to make cable-stayed bridge safe on wind for additional five safety structures, main girder models with and without safety structures for wind-tunnel experiments was made, and wind tunnel experiments was carried out to measure aerodynamic force coefficients. Also, wind-resistant analyses of 3D cable-stayed bridge were performed on the basis of wind-tunnel experiment results. From the wind tunnel experiments for the aerodynamic force coefficients of main girder with five safety structures and the wind resistant analyses of cable-stayed bridge without safety structure and with safety structure, it was concluded that the best form of wind-resistant safety was shown in the order of mesh, standard, bracing, hollow, and closed type. And wind-resistant safety of cable-stayed bridge with hollow and closed type on design wind speed 68.0m/sec was not secured. Finally, as five safety structures are installed, maximum rate of stress increments was shown in the order of steel main beam, steel floor beam, concrete floor beam and cables.

The effects of porous wind fence on the pressure characteristics around a 2-dimensional prism model of triangular cross-section were investigated experimentally. The fence and prism model were embedded in a neutral atmospheric surface boundary layer over the city suburb. In this study, various fences of different porosity, back fence, inclination angle of prism and location of additional back prisms were tested to investigate their effects on the pressure and wall shear stress of the prism surface. The fence and prism had the same height of 40 mm and Reynolds number based on the model height was Re=3.9*10$^{4}$. The porous fence with porosity 40% was found to be the best wind fence for decreasing the mean and pressure fluctuations on the prism surface. By installing the fence of porosity 40%, the wall shear stress on the windward surface of prism was largely decreased up to 1/3 of that without the fence. This indicates that the porous fence is most effective to abate the wind erosion. Pressure fluctuations on the model surface were decreased more than half when a back fence was located behind the prism in addition to the front fence. With locating several back prisms and decreasing the inclination angle of triangular prism, the pressure fluctuations on the model surface were increased on the contrary.

Research on aged insulation of cables by stress is constantly being considered for reliable and stable power transmission of offshore wind farms. This study aimed to evaluate the insulation characteristic of aged XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation for application of offshore wind farms. In this study, The XLPE insulation of cable was set as various mechanical strains. The XLPE insulation is exposed to the mechanical stress below yield strain of 5%, 10%, and 20%. Aged samples were tested by using the method of AC BDV (alternative current breakdown voltage), tensile strength, elongation, and SEM (scanning electron microscope) to obtain insulation characteristics. The experimental results show that the dielectric breakdown of the sample with a strain 20% was 50% lower than the unaged sample; thereby, demonstrating that the mechanical strain that occurred in the submarine cables can weaken the insulation characteristics. Therefore, mechanical strain should be monitored when laying and operating submarine cables for offshore wind farms.

The purpose of this study is to define the optimized layer pattern of composite wind turbine blade by using a commercial FEM program and to perform the fatigue test of T-Bolt. FEM analysis is done by using a PATRAN and ABAQUS to get a information about stress distribution ,critical deformation shape and get a critical load factor in local buckling analysis. As a result of the linear and nonlinear structural analysis, layer pattern of blade was optimized. T-Bolt is a connecting part of wind turbine blade and rotor hub, therefore T-bolt is cirtical part of wind turbine blade. T-bolt fatigue test is conducted to get a information of life cycle of T-bolt. The test is done by using a hydraulic actuator system

This paper reports a method to modify the gear tooth profile of a wind turbine gearbox to reduce the noise caused by the impact of the gear teeth. The major causes of tooth impact are the elastic deformation of the gear teeth, shafts, and case of the gearbox under loading, and the fabrication tolerances in gear manufacturing. In this study, the tooth profile was modified considering the elastic deformation of the gear tooth and the tooth lead modification to compensate for tooth interference in the lead direction as a result of shaft deformations. The method was applied to the gearbox of a 2.5MW wind turbine, and the transmission error was characterized before and after modifying the gear teeth. For the modified gear teeth, the transmission error (67.6%) was lower by 17.8%. Additionally, the gear contact stress was reduced by 6.3%, to 22.3%.
