    • Analysis of fatigue test data of retrieved mooring chain links subject to pitting corrosion 

      Mendoza Espinosa, Jorge; Haagensen, Per Jahn; Kohler, Jochen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Fatigue is one of the main failure mechanisms of catenary type mooring lines. Fatigue resistance is affected by a large number of factors. In this paper, the effect of pitting corrosion on the fatigue resistance of mooring ...

    • Evaluation of the Fatigue Resistance of Offshore Jacket Joints by Numerical Approaches 

      Mendoza Espinosa, Jorge (Master thesis, 2017)
      Jacket support structures are a preferred solution for offshore wind turbines in deeper waters. Extensive knowledge exists in relation to its construction technique as well as its crucial components, but due to considerable ...

    • Mesh parametric study for fatigue assessment of tubular K-joints using numerical methods 

      Mendoza Espinosa, Jorge; Schafhirt, Sebastian; Muskulus, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Wind turbine jacket structures are complex structures, whose joints design is generally driven by fatigue. These joints, along with their complex welds, are of special interest in terms of cost reduction. Therefore, a ...

    • Risk-based Design of an Offshore Wind Turbine using VoI Analysis 

      Mendoza Espinosa, Jorge; Kohler, Jochen (Chapter, 2019)
      Monopiles are the most common solution for supporting wind turbines in offshore conditions. At the design phase of a monopile, a frequency check is to be performed to avoid the resonance hazard with the 1P and 3P excitation, ...

    • Risk-based Fatigue Design Considering Inspections and Maintenance 

      Mendoza Espinosa, Jorge; Kohler, Jochen; Bismut, Elizabeth; Straub, Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The different phases of a structure’s life-cycle are managed by different teams with little interaction. Correspondingly, the optimization of the individual phases is isolated and does not necessarily result in optimal ...

    • Value of information of in-situ inspections of mooring lines 

      Mendoza Espinosa, Jorge; Paglia, Jacopo; Eidsvik, Jo; Kohler, Jochen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Mooring systems that are used to secure position keeping of floating offshore oil and gas facilities are subject to deterioration processes, such as pitting corrosion and fatigue crack growth. Past investigations show that ...
