Flexible dynamic analysis of an offshore wind turbine installed on a floating spar platform

Flexible dynamic analysis is a critical process in designing offshore wind turbines that are composed of several huge components. This process was implemented with a hybrid method of finite element multibody system using commercial software in this article. Based on this method, the tower and blades...
