This paper examines further the problem of approximating the distribution of a continuous random variable based on three key percentiles, typically the median (50th percentile) and the 5% points (5th ...

Offshore wind turbines, particularly floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs), operate in highly dynamic and often severe marine environments where extreme loads induced by wind, waves and currents can ...
