Abstract:
Two types of nonlinearities including geometric and material are most commonly encountered in structural analysis. In the previous research, the nonlinear of the soil and tower material has been widely considered in the dynamic and static analyses of offshore wind turbine. However, geometrical nonlinearity is also very important for the cantilever structures with large deflection under tip concentrated vertical load. This study investigates the effect of the geometrical nonlinearity on the responses of offshore wind turbine supported on monopile foundation in clay subjected to the external vibration sources. A finite element model of the system is developed using software ABAQUS. Tower and monopile is modeled using beam elements with ideal elastic-plastic material, pile-soil interaction is modeled using nonlinear spring elements and pile-water interaction is replaced by using added mass. Pushover analysis of the system and dynamic analysis of the system subjected to wind, wave or earthquake loads are performed in the present study. It is found that the geometrical nonlinearity should be considered in the design of offshore wind turbine. © 13th International Conference on Shock and Impact Loads on Structures, SILOS 2019.
