ESR11 Development of methods for risk assessment of wind turbine support structures and bridges

I became so refreshed after a long holiday back home; it was the best holiday ever, as I had my wedding party! Besides, I had my first oral presentation during my Ph.D. at the fifth International Reliability and Safety Engineering Conference (IRSEC 2018) in Shiraz, the city of poets, literature, and flowers in Iran. I have presented two papers there: Comparative Investigation of Uncertainty Analysis with Different Methodologies on Fatigue Data of Rebars Sima Rastayesh, Amol Mankar, John Dalsgaard Sørensen Sensitivity and Identifiability Study for Uncertainty Analysis of Material Model for Concrete Fatigue Amol Mankar, Sima Rastayesh, John Dalsgaard Sørensen My first Paper was selected to be published in the International Journal of Reliability, Risk, and Safety: Theory and Application, among a competition between other papers. After I came back from holiday I participated in a course by JCSS, at Aalborg University with the title “System Risk Modelling and Analysis in

At Aalborg University, Ph.D. students should have a mini-defense of their work, which means they should present what they have done so far and what they have plan to do for the rest of their Ph.D., I also had this seminar. During my secondment, I tried to prepare myself for this presentation, which made me a bit stressful at that moment. It was a fantastic experience as it simulated a semi-defense for me. The questions of my reviewer helped me to stay on the track of my Ph.D. topic, especially to balance my publications and not to be so optimistic for many publications. After my seminar, I have participated in the first implementation of our project! I think for all ESRs took a bit time to really understand what will be happened in the implementation day, what are the expectations and what is the aim of these implementations and even more questions. In each implementation day, each work package should present their work. The feedback from industries isreally helpful, espec
