Low-energy impacts between ships and offshore wind turbines (OWT) can occur during maintenance operations, when service vessels need to approach the turbine at low speeds. While this type of accident might not result in significant permanent damage of the tower or the foundation, the whipping elastic response of the overall structure can induce high accelerations at the rotor-nacelle assembly (RNA), where sensitive subcomponents such as the generator, bearings and gearbox are contained. This study presents a two-step methodology to quickly assess the whipping elastic response of a monopile OWT subjected to a low-energy ship impact. The first step consists of modelling the monopile as a reduced set of Euler-Bernoulli beams with different cro...
