Dynamic analysis of offshore wind turbines subjected to the combined wind and ice loads based on the cohesive element method

Ice loads are an important and decisive factor for the safe operation of offshore wind turbines (OWTs). In severe environment load cases, it shall lead to prominent ice-induced vibration and ice-induced fatigue failure of OWT structures. Based on the cohesive element method (CEM) and considering the...
