Non-Linear numerical analysis of offshore monopiles under dynamic loading

随着对可再生能源的需求不断增加，海上风电行业的目标是将他们的领土扩展到更深的环境，在海上风力涡轮机(OWT)基础设施上呈现出更恶劣的气候。这在设计单体桩时带来了困难，因为抵抗较高载荷所需的刚性几何形状会导致当前设计标准的不确定性，特别是当暴露在动态载荷条件下时。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下。本项目旨在开发一种单桩的非线性模拟器，以辅助分析动载作用下的土-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.
