...Silvia G. F. P. Lemos; Maria C. F. Almeida; Jose R. M. S. Oliveira; Marcio S. S. Almeida This paper presents a series of physical modelling tests designed to investigate the horizontal displacement, secant stiffness, hysteresis and natural frequency behaviour of a wind turbine with a monopile...

...Semaan Maatouk; Matthieu Blanc; Luc Thorel An experimental campaign is conducted on a 100 g centrifuged monopile model, impact driven, into saturated dense sand, down to three embedding depths, corresponding to three slenderness ratios of 5, 4 and 3. These models are instrumented...

..., open-ended pipe piles known as monopiles. The design of these piles is often done using the p–y method, which models the soil simply as non-linear springs placed along the pile length and assumes the pile to behave as a one-dimensional beam. To develop a design method that accounts...
