Evaluation of Offshore Wind Turbine Tower Dynamics with Numerical Analysis

A dynamic behaviour of a cylindirical wind tower with variable cross section is investigated under environmental and earthquake forces. The ground acceleration term is represented by a simple cosine function to investigate both normal and parallel components of the earthquake motions located near gr...
