Comparison of nonlinear wave-loading models on rigid cylinders in regular waves (2019)
Journal Article
Mockute, A., Marino, E., Lugni, C., & Borri, C. (2019). Comparison of nonlinear wave-loading models on rigid cylinders in regular waves. Energies, 12(21), 1-22. https://doi.org/10.3390/en12214022

© 2019 by the authors. Monopiles able to support very large offshore wind turbines are slender structures susceptible to nonlinear resonant phenomena. With the aim to better understand and model the wave-loading on these structures in very steep wave...

Book Chapter
Mockute, A., Borri, C., Marino, E., & Lugni, C. (2019). Wind–Wave Loading and Response of OWT Monopiles in Rough Seas. In F. Ricciardelli, & A. M. Avossa (Eds.), Proceedings of the XV Conference of the Italian Association for Wind Engineering. IN VENTO 2018 (507-518). Cham: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-12815-9_39

© 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Monopile-supported OWTs are prone to ringing – a dangerous nonlinear resonant phenomenon which is still not fully understood. Both wind and waves have a major influence on it, wind with its aerodynamic damping... Read More about Wind–Wave Loading and Response of OWT Monopiles in Rough Seas.

Wave loads on monopile-supported offshore wind turbines: Current methods and future challenges (2018)

Comparison of hydrodynamic loading models for vertical cylinders in nonlinear waves (2017)
Journal Article
Mockute, A., Marino, E., Lugni, C., & Borri, C. (2017). Comparison of hydrodynamic loading models for vertical cylinders in nonlinear waves. Procedia Engineering, 199, 3224-3229. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2017.09.329

This paper introduces a comparison study between various hydrodynamic loading models in highly nonlinear waves and discusses its first phase - comparing Morison equation and Rainey corrections on a fixed cylinder in regular steep waves. In this study... Read More about Comparison of hydrodynamic loading models for vertical cylinders in nonlinear waves.
