Dynamic analysis of offshore wind turbine foundation

Dynamic analysis of offshore wind turbine foundations analyses how the soil–structure system responds to time-dependent loading from wind, waves, rotor–blade dynamics, and occasional earthquakes. It deals with natural frequencies, damping, and fatigue, and soil–structure interaction and the way these evolve with scour and repeated loading. The activity will lead to practical design guidance and REF-able journal papers that publish validated methods and real project benefits.
