Parametric reduced order modeling of structural models by manifold interpolation techniques: Application on a jacket foundation of an offshore wind turbine

An important aspect of structural design is to obtain adequate knowledge and prediction of the structure’s dynamic behavior. Wind Turbine Manufacturers (WTMs) design their wind turbines for a lifetime of typically 25 years during which the structure has to withstand a large variety of loads, induced by wind- and wave conditions. To obtain a...
