  • Reliability of floating foundation concepts for vertical axis wind turbines 
    Kolios, Athanasios J.; Collu, Maurizio; Brennan, Feargal P. (2010-12-31)
    Offshore wind turbines are developing at a rapid pace. By far the most common turbine configuration is the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) and development of these machines is largely centered about drive train and ...
  • Report of Committee III.2: fatigue and fracture 
    Brennan, Feargal P. (Elsevier, 2003-12-31)
    COMMITTEE MANDATE Concern for crack initiation and growth under cyclic loading as well as unstable crack propagation and tearing in ship and offshore structures. Due attention shall be paid to practical application ...
  • Risk-based methods for sustainable energy system planning: a review 
    Ioannou, Anastasia; Angus, Andrew; Brennan, Feargal P. (Elsevier, 2017-03-02)
    The value of investments in renewable energy (RE) technologies has increased rapidly over the last decade as a result of political pressures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and the policy incentives to increase the share ...
  • Stochastic prediction of offshore wind farm LCOE through an integrated cost model 
    Ioannou, Anastasia; Angus, Andrew; Brennan, Feargal P. (Elsevier, 2017-03-09)
    Common deterministic cost of energy models applied in offshore wind energy installations usually disregard the effect of uncertainty of key input variables – associated with OPEX, CAPEX, energy generation and other financial ...
  • Stress Monitoring of Civil and Mechanical Engineering Infrastructure 
    Brennan, Feargal P. (British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing, 2007-06)
    Structural Integrity Monitoring is a rapidly growing science and practice which promises in the future to measure and record every shudder and twitch within the lifetime of future structural components. Indeed, structures ...
  • Surface Crack Shape Evolution Modelling using an RMS SIF approach 
    Chahardehi, Amir Ebrahim; Brennan, Feargal P.; Han, S. K. (Elsevier, 2010)
    The majority of fatigue cracks in thick plate and tubular sections in structural components are two-dimensional surface cracks having significant propagation lives before becoming critical. The modelling of surface crack ...
  • Weld toe stress concentrations in multi-planar stiffened tubular KK joints 
    Woghiren, C. O.; Brennan, Feargal P. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2009-01-31)
    This paper reports a parametric stress analysis of various configurations of rack plate stiffened multi-planar welded KK joints using the finite element method. The KK joint finds application in the leg structure of ...
