The application of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in offshore oil fields has received significant attention due to the potentially enormous amount of recoverable oil. However, EOR application offshore is in its very early stage due to conditions that are more complex than onshore oil fields, owing to the unique parameters present offshore. Therefore, successful EOR applications in offshore oil fie...

Offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structures are subjected to non-proportional environmental wind and wave load patterns with respect to increases in wave height and with respect to wind and wave combined loading. Traditional approaches to estimating the ultimate capacity of offshore support structures are not ideally suited to analysis of OWTs. In this paper, the concept of incremental wind-...

Due to the efficiency in implementation, the Walsh (Hadamard) transform plays an important role in signal analysis and communication. Recently, Lee generalized the Walsh transform into the Jacket transform. Since the entries of the Jacket transform can be ±2, it is more flexible than the Walsh transform. Both the Walsh transform and the Jacket transform are defined for the case where the length...

As basements of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in deep water (>50 m), jacket structures are an economic alternative to monopiles. For this reason, the structural durability jackets has become more important. In such structures, welded tubular joints weak points for fatigue design. The harmful effect tensile residual stresses welding is well known. these reasons, and loading were determined by...

Currently, floating wind turbines (FWTs) may be the more economical and suitable systems with which to exploit offshore wind energy in deep waters. Among the various types of floating foundations for offshore wind farms, a tension leg platform (TLP) foundation can provide a relatively stable platform for currently available offshore wind turbines without requiring major modifications. In this s...
