 Choosing appropriate foundations for supporting offshore wind turbines is one of the uncertainties in the future rounds of offshore wind power development. Offshore wind turbines are dynamically sensitive structures as the global natural frequency of the whole system is very close to the forcing frequencies (due to the environmental loads and the associated frequencies due to the rotor). This...

In the seismic risk assessment of structures, two main random variables are involved, namely the vulnerability of the structure and the seismic action. The aim of the study presented here is to analyze the seismic behavior of the jacket-type offshore platforms as an expensive and vital structure. Furthermore, the influence of the incidence angle of the seismic action is also investigated by usi...

Explosion and fire on an offshore rig can lead to its minor or complete damage and sinking which means the loss of life or environmental pollution. Hence the use of techniques such as blast wall is crucial to reduce the detrimental effects. These blast walls are designed for explosion wave of length between 0.1 to 1 of load mainly to protect the personnel and critical sections. In this research...

In this paper, an offshore platform subjected to dynamic loading for different damage cases was modelled via fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis. Different models were considered in the case where one leg broken, and Young’s modulus of damaged member reduced with four severity ratios. addition five structures, undamaged structure according two spacing conditions. Thus, compared among the...

Reset controllers are commonly used to smooth the transient response of systems. We use this technique to improve a standard baseline pitch controller for offshore wind turbines (WTs). The introduction of this strategy enhances the overall performance of the WT. In particular, the fore-aft and side-to-side accelerations of the WT tower are significantly reduced, whilst a steadier power output i...

when a jack-up installed at a clay location and then leaves; it can create several meter deep footprints. in case of soft clay, the spudcan may have actually penetrated much deeper than the observed footprints. when the penetrated spudcan is pulled out, much of the soft remolded clay will flow around it and go back into the hole. this event, leaving a deep region of disturbed soil. the disturbe...
