Abstract

This paper presents the seismic response analysis of offshore wind turbines subjected to multi-support seismic excitation by using a three dimensional numerical finite element model considering viscous boundaries. The sea water-offshore wind turbine-soil interaction system is modeled by the Lagrangian (displacement-based) fluid and solid-quadrilateral-isoparametric finite elements. The research conducts a parametric study to estimate the effects of different foundation soil types on the seismic behavior of the offshore wind turbine coupled interaction system. The results obtained for different cases are compared with each other.
