Abstract
Wind turbines are subjected to very specific loads and stresses. At a first glance, the main problem appears to be the stability in heavy storms and hurricanes. However, the continuous alternating loads - even under normal wind conditions - are just as problematic. Alternating loads are more difficult to cope with than static loads because the material becomes ”fatigued”.
