Guidance notes on writing and formatting your YRC synopsis

GENERALThe guidance given on this page is accompanied by a synopsis template on page 2. Please use theformatting shon on page 2 e!actly" e.g. bold sentence case for headings and titles.

Applicants must submit a pro#ect synopsis of a research pro#ect they are actively involved in for the $nstitution

of %tructural Engineers& 'oung Researchers& (onference 2)*+. The abstract" including tables" referencesand space for images" should have a minimum length of half a page and must not e!ceed to pages. Theabstract must be ritten in English ith Arial *) point font single spaced. Please do not use footers.

The synopsis must be ritten as a ,ord document" ith your name as the filename" and be up to *)))ords in length" ith the folloing suggested sub-headings as appropriate

- Pro#ect ob#ectives and goals- /escription of method and results- Potential for application of results- References

Frequency domain fatigue damage estimation of offshore wind turbinesupport structures

Lszl rany3niversity of 0ristol

!ro"ect ob"ecti#es and goalsThe pro#ect aims at developing a fast fatigue estimation method for the support structures of offshore indturbines to assist integrated design of the rotor-nacelle assembly" the toer" the substructure and thefoundation. $n the field of ind energy converter systems the preferred choice of detailed fatigue design istime domain analysis. The operational states of the ind turbine are simulated in the time domain and themoments at the substructure level are calculated from this analysis. The time history of loads on the supportstructure is then analysed by some cycle counting method . and 0radford" .A.
