Design methods to assess the resistance of offshore wind turbine structures impacted by a ship


Abstract eng:
The dynamic modes of jacket, monopile and Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) after a collision event are presented. The authors have developed simplified analytical formulations based on plastic limit analysis to assess the resistance of an offshore wind turbine jacket impacted by a ship. For the case of collisions with monopile foundations and FOWT, the crushing behaviour and structure dynamics are studied by means of finite elements simulations. Numerical results for both monopile and floating structures will serve for further developments of simplified analytical tools, similar to that used for jacket structures.
