Abstract: A new method for nonlinear analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams resting on heterogeneous, multilayered soil is presented. The governing differential equations for beam and soil displacements are obtained using the principle ...

Abstract: Various multimegawatt capacity offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are constructed globally to fulfill increasing energy demand. Many of these structures have already been and will continue to be constructed in seismically active ...

Abstract: Stochastic finite‐element based reliability analysis is used to examine the performance of the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) method for steel structures. The reliabilities of members in actual configurations are ...

Abstract: This study assesses the serviceability and fatigue limit states of the offshore wind turbine (OWT) founded in clay incorporating the impact of climate change. Two different offshore locations at east and west coasts in ...

Abstract: A stochastic structural optimization procedure using element‐level reliabilities as constraints is proposed here. The procedure is robust and efficient and closely resembles the practical approach used in design offices. ...

Abstract: A new method for nonlinear analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams resting on heterogeneous, multilayered soil is presented. The governing differential equations for beam and soil displacements are obtained using the principle ...

Abstract: An efficient and accurate algorithm is proposed to evaluate risk in the time domain for nonlinear structures subjected to short duration dynamic loadings, especially seismic loading. The algorithm is based on the stochastic ...
