Estimation of Soil Damping Contribution on Offshore Monopiles Using Plaxis 3D Approach

Offshore wind has achieved many milestones considering this relatively new and emerging industry. Its huge advancement is mostly driven by lowering the overall project cost and renewable energy targets which are set by the EU. One of the potential cost savers can be found in the foundation structure design in which the monopiles are the most...

Seismic analysis of monopile-based offshore wind turbines including aero-elasticity and soil-structure interaction

With the depletion of traditional energy sources, the usage of renewable energy alternatives has increased over the past years. Among them, wind energy is considered as one of the most economical and environmentally friendly alternatives, and is seen as one of the main sources of energy in the future. A very promising field in the area of wind...
