Monopile offshore wind turbines (MOWTs) are located in complex marine environments and are subject to wind, wave, current loads and seismic action in service. Besides, MOWTs in sand are highly susceptible to scour under environmental loads and the dynamic response of MOWTs is affected by the combina...
