Ice-induced Vibrations of Vertically Sided Model Structures: Comparison of structures with circular and rectangular cross-section subjected to the frequency lock-in regime

Offshore wind energy has very recently begun expanding into subarctic regions with seasonally ice-infested waters like the Baltic Sea. For offshore wind turbines with conventional support structures such as monopiles and jackets that are typically flexible and vertically sided, the phenomenon known as ice-induced vibrations can develop. In...
