Initial results of a study into the estimation of the development of frequency lock-in for offshore structures subjected to ice loading

Ice-induced vibrations have to be considered in design of vertically sided offshore structures subjected to loading by sea ice, such as offshore wind turbines and oil- and gas platforms. The interaction between ice and structure may result in high global peak loads and the occurring structural vibrations can contribute significantly to the...

A coupled modelling approach for the fast computation of underwater noise radiation from offshore pile driving

This paper presents a computationally efficient modelling approach for the prediction of underwater noise radiation from offshore pile driving. A near-source module is adopted to capture the interaction between the pile, fluid and soil, which is based on a previously developed semi-analytical vibro-acoustic model. This module primarily aims...
