Non-Linear numerical analysis of offshore monopiles under dynamic loading

随着对可再生能源需求的不断增长，海上风电行业的目标是将其业务范围扩展到更深的环境中，从而使海上风电涡轮机（OWT）基础设施面临更恶劣的气候。这在设计支架时引入了困难，因为抵抗更高载荷所需的刚性几何形状引起了当前设计标准的不确定性，特别是当暴露于动态载荷条件时。Monopile在设计和安装方面的简单性是一种开发手段，特别是在全球对可持续未来的渴望中。本计画旨在发展一个非线性模拟器，以协助分析在动力荷载作用下的土-结构相互作用。

With the increasing demand for renewable energy, the offshore wind industry aims to expand their territory into deeper environments, presenting harsher climates on Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) infrastructure. This introduces difficulties when designing monopiles, as the required rigid geometries to resist higher loads induce uncertainties with current design standards, especially when exposed to dynamic loading conditions. Monopile's simplicity in design and installation is a means of exploitation, especially with the global appetence for a sustainable future. This project aims to develop a non-linear simulator for monopiles to aid in the analysis of the soil-structure interaction under dynamic loading.
