Fang, P. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Bai, Yong (author)Submarine power cables are considered lifelines in wind farm engineering, playing a key role in transporting electric current produced by wind turbines or wave converter. Cables inevitably confront combined loadings in deep-sea areas, affecting the integrity and safety during their installation and application. In this paper, the mechanical...journal article 2021

Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Jiang, Zhiyu (author), Caboni, Marco (author), Verhoef, Hans (author), van der Mijle Meijer, Harald (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)Rain-induced leading-edge erosion of wind turbine blades is associated with high repair and maintenance costs. For efficient operation and maintenance, erosion models are required that provide estimates of blade coating lifetime at a real scale. In this study, a statistical rainfall model is established that describes probabilistic...journal article 2021

Li, Z. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Zhu, Ling (author), Liu, Zhiping (author)In the present paper, we propose an analytical method to calculate the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) of circumferential surface cracks in steel pipes subjected to bending. In light of pipe geometry and bending load case, the analytical formula is raised by introducing new bending correction factors and new geometry correction factors on the...journal article 2020
