Braun, Moritz (author), Dörner, Alfons (author), Willems, Tom (author), Seidel, Marc (author), Hendrikse, H. (author), Høyland, Knut V. (author), Fischer, Claas (author), Ehlers, Sören (author)Fixed offshore wind turbines are increasingly developed for high latitude areas where not only wind and wave loads need to be considered, but also moving sea ice. Current structural design rules do not adequately consider the effect of ice loading on fatigue life, due to missing studies on fatigue strength of welded joints under combined wind,...conference paper 2022
