Fatigue Damage Characteristics of Offshore Wind Power Large-Diameter Monopile Structures During Driving Process

open access: yes南方能源建设
[Objective] Large-diameter monopile foundations are widely used in marine engineering in China and are typically installed through penetration. Due to the impact of the pile hammer, the pile body experiences continuous impact loads during the driving ...

Dynamic Analysis of a Monopile Supported Offshore Wind Turbine [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 5th International Congress on Computational Mechanics and Simulation, 2014
This paper describes the stochastic dynamic response of National Renewable Energy Laboratory 5 MW offshore fixed-based wind turbine (OWT) under various soil conditions – medium dense sand, stiff clay and layered profiles in 20 m depth of water. The aerodynamic and hydrodynamic OWT loads are derived using the force-controlled approach.

Cost Development and Cost Drivers in UK Offshore Wind Farms

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The offshore wind industry faces challenges of impairments, project abandonment, and no bids in auction rounds, following several years of cost increases and project delays. Both industry and government rely on cost reductions. Companies struggle with low business‐economic profitability, and taxpayers require a justification for government ...

MONITORING MONOPILE PENETRATION THROUGH MAGNETIC STRAY FIELD MEASUREMENTS

open access: yesProceedings of the XI International Conference on Structural Dynamics, 2020
Current methods to infer the penetration of a steel monopile during an offshore installation are rather inaccurate. Since a large number of foundation piles will be installed offshore in the coming years, a reliable technique to infer the penetration depth is vital.

Submerged Arc Welding of S355G10+M Steel: Analyzing Strength, Distortion, Residual Stresses, and Fatigue for Offshore Wind Applications

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 3859-3878, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This research delves into the material performance of submerged arc‐welded S355G10 +M structural steel for offshore wind turbines, with an emphasis on strength, ductility, hardness, distortion, residual stress, and fatigue. This was done by conducting experiments and employing modeling tools combined with image analysis.

Sensitivity Analysis of Monopiles’ Fatigue Stresses to Site Conditions Using Monte Carlo Simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The design of support structures of offshore wind turbines contains high number of design variables that influence load characteristics and structural responses. These variables are stochastic and cause many uncertainties.

Optimization of monopile offshore wind structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
ABSTRACT: As industrialization is essential for large-scale offshore wind deployment, a computerized methodology to optimize the scantling of monopile steel structures has been developed using a genetic alg rithm. The objective functions of this tool are minimization of the structure weight and production costs.

Drag and Lift Forces on Bed Sediments in Open‐Channel Flow Through Boulders at Various Froude Numbers

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract The Froude number (Fr) is an important parameter that affects turbulence structures, bedload transport, and bedforms in mountain rivers. In a prior study by Liu et al. (2024, https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0222673), turbulence structures in open channel flow through a boulder array placed on seven layers of spheres (comprising the channel bed ...

Early detection and location of unexpected events in buried pipelines under unseen conditions using the two‐stream global fusion classifier model

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 21, Page 3295-3315, 29 August 2025.
Abstract Failure of buried pipelines can result in serious impacts, such as explosions, environmental contamination, and economic losses. Early detection and location of unexpected events is crucial to prevent such events. However, conventional monitoring methods exhibit limited generalization performance under varying environmental and operational ...
