Project
Details
Objectives: The
general objective of this research project is to evaluate the wave-induced
response and instability of seabed-marine structure systems by providing
numerical solutions to the wave-soil-structure interaction problem.
Specific objectives were: ·
To formulate mathematical models for the
dynamic response of saturated seabed with a focus on the mechanics of
fluid–filled porous media in relation to coupled processes of flow and
deformation ·
To develop numerical methods and computer
models for the analysis of the structure-foundation-seabed systems under
wave forces considering poro-elastic and poro-inelastic behavior ·
To model the response and instability of
important types of coastal structures in relation to safer coasts and
renewable energy sources. ·
To investigate the contribution of various
processes to the response and instability through parametric studies for
different ranges of wave, soil and structure parameters and identify the
adequacy and applicability of numerical formulations for different cases.
