Fatigue performance analysis and reinforcement measures for foundation connection components of wind turbine towers
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In recent years, frequent tower collapses have been mostly related to fatigue damage. Therefore, this paper systematically studies the fatigue resistance performance and reinforcement methods of tower foundation connection components through on-site tests and finite element analysis. The test analyzed the lifespan, stress-strain characteristics, crack development and mechanical properties of the connection components under fatigue loads; numerical simulation compared the fatigue life and safety of ordinary components, reinforced with steel mesh, C100 high-strength concrete components, and C40 and C100 composite components, etc., providing key basis for engineering reinforcement.
