Consideration of ice drift in determining the contribution of iceinduced vibrations to structural fatigue

Ice-induced vibrations have to be considered in the design of vertically sided offshore structures which may encounter drifting sea or lake ice during their lifetime. One particular aspect is the contribution of ice-induced vibrations to the fatigue of such structures. Estimation of the duration of events is often difficult, due to limited...

Coupled Simulation of Ice-Structure Interaction of Offshore Wind Turbines in Bhawc Using Vanilla

Offshore wind turbines at locations where sea or lake ice is present need to be designed to withstand ice-induced loading. For vertical-sided support structures, such as monopiles, the effects of ice-induced vibrations need to be considered in the design. Current practice is either to use approaches provided in design standards, or for example...
