Molenkamp, T. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)The growing interest in offshore wind leads to an increasing number of wind farms planned to be constructed in the coming years. Installation of these piles often causes high underwater noise levels that harm aquatic life. State-of-the-art models have problems predicting the noise and seabed vibrations from vibratory pile driving. A significant...journal article 2023

Tsetas, A. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)This paper presents a computationally efficient model for vibratory pile installation. A semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) model for thin cylindrical shells is derived to represent the pile. The linear dynamic response of the soil medium is described by means of Green's functions via the Thin-Layer Method (TLM) coupled with Perfectly...journal article 2023

Sánchez Gómez, S. (author), Tsetas, A. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)For offshore wind turbines (OWTs), the monopile comprises the most common type of foundation and vibratory driving is one of the main techniques for monopile installation (and decommissioning). In practice, prior to pile installation, a pile driving analysis is performed to select the appropriate installation device and the relevant settings....conference paper 2023

Saeidtehrani, S. (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)The process of finding values of extreme waves and their impacts on wave energy converter (WEC) responses, depends on both wave resources and WEC dynamic characteristics. A wide range of waves can influence the reliability of operation and survivability of a WEC. In this paper, a methodology is described to find specific values of wave heights...conference paper 2022

Dostal, Leo (author), Hollm, Marten (author), Metrikine, A. (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author)This paper aims at investigating the existence of localized stationary waves in the shallow subsurface whose constitutive behavior is governed by the hyperbolic model, implying non-polynomial nonlinearity and strain-dependent shear modulus. To this end, we derive a novel equation of motion for a nonlinear gradient elasticity model, where the...journal article 2022

Qu, Y. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)This paper is first of the two papers dealing with the nonlinear modelling and investigation of coupled cross-flow and in-line vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) of flexible cylindrical structures. As a continuation of the previous work (Qu and Metrikine in Ocean Eng 196:106732, 2020) where a new single wake oscillator model was proposed and...journal article 2021

Kementzetzidis, E. (author), Metrikine, A. (author), Versteijlen, Willem Geert (author), Pisano, F. (author)With the offshore wind industry rapidly expanding worldwide, geotechnical research is being devoted to foundation optimisation - most intensively for large-diameter monopiles. The analysis and design of monopiles still suffers from significant uncertainties in relation to cyclic/dynamic loading conditions. The aim of this work is to shed new...journal article 2020

Qu, Y. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)In this study a new wake oscillator model is proposed to describe the coupled cross-flow and in-line vortex-induced vibrations of an elastically supported rigid cylinder. Different from many other studies where two wake oscillators have been applied, the current model uses only one wake oscillator coupled to both cross-flow and in-line motions....journal article 2020

Keijdener, C. (author), Hendrikse, H. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)In this paper, the efficacy of an effective fluid model (EFM) is studied for replicating the effects that hydrodynamics has on the interaction between level ice, modeled as a semi-infinite Kirchhoff-Love plate, and a downward sloping structure, modeled as a rigid and immobile body. The proposed EFM is based on a distributed frequency-independent...conference paper 2019

Keijdener, C. (author), Hendrikse, H. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)In this paper, the bending failure of level ice caused by the interaction with a downward sloping structure is studied in 2D. The focus is on the effect of hydrodynamics on the interaction. This study is done by comparing the predictions of a model that includes both hydrostatics and hydrodynamics with one that only includes hydrostatics.<br/...journal article 2018

Zhao, M. (author), van Dalen, K.N. (author), de Oliveira Barbosa, J.M. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)This paper addresses the dynamic response of an infinitely long cylindrical structure embedded in an elastic half-space. The structure has a circular cross-section and its axis is parallel to the half-space surface. Excitation can be incident body waves or forces applied on the surface of the half-space and/or the structure. The model can be...conference paper 2018

(author)Shell has developed a novel mono-diameter well concept for oil and gas wells as opposed to the traditional telescopic well design. A Mono- diameter well contains multiple casing sections with the same internal diameter. This is achieved by expansion of the casing sections concerned using an expansion cone. Since the well is drilled in stages and...conference paper 2017

de Oliveira Barbosa, J.M. (author), Qu, Y. (author), Metrikine, A. (author), Lourens, E. (author)This work reports on experiments that were performed with a freely vibrating cylinder exposed to currents and placed near a plane boundary parallel to the cylinder axis. It is observed that the proximity of the boundary affects the vertical response of the cylinder in two ways: (i) for gaps between 0.75 and 2 diameters (D), the amplitude of...journal article 2017
