# Wind-Induced Fatigue in Turbine Towers. ## Uploaded by. AI-enhanced title and description. 1) The document discusses wind-induced fatigue analysis of a wind turbine steel tower. It establishes a finite element model of the tower in Abaqus and analyzes the dynamic response under different wind speeds and directions. 2) It calculates the time history curve of key point stresses on the tower. Using the rain-flow counting method and Miner criterion, it evaluates the wind-induced fatigue life of the tower. 3) The analysis finds that the fatigue life of the tower is greater than its design service life, meaning it can meet design requirements. However, the influence of wind load on fatigue damage varies depending on wind speed and direction. ## Share this document. ## Footer menu. ## Support. ## Legal. ## Social. ## Get our free apps.

For these reasons, the implementation of a fatigue monitoring system can be an important advantage for the management of wind farms, providing the following outputs: (i) estimation of the evolution of real fatigue condition; (ii) since the real condition of fatigue damage is known, these results could be an essential element for a decision about extending the lifespan of the structure and the possibility of repowering or overpowering; and (iii) the results of the instrumented wind turbines can be extrapolated to other wind turbines of the same wind farm. In general, two distinct approaches in fatigue analysis can be followed [4]: (a) use the cumulative fatigue damage to predict fatigue life, assuming that a failure occurs after a number of loading cycles at a particular tension/stress range; and (b) examine the fracture behavior of mechanical elements under dynamic loads and consider that a failure occurs if the remaining strength of the component is insufficient because of cracks that have grown to a critical length.

The predicted bolt fatigue life is about three months when the residual bolt axial force is less than 30 %, which matches the maintenance record.
