Dynamic analysis of a monopile supported wind turbine considering experimental p–y curves

Monopiles supporting offshore wind turbines are commonly designed using p–y curves that are originally validated for slender piles in oil and gas applications. In this study, it is aimed to investigate dynamic behaviour of a monopile supported wind turbine using newly suggested p–y formulation derived from centrifugal tests and compare the results for the same structure with API proposed p–y curves. A numerical model is set up and dynamic...
