As critical components of offshore wind farms, suspend export cables have attracted increasing attention owing to their complex dynamic responses under combined wave–current loading and cable–soil interaction, leading to structural failure and fatigue damage. A numerical framework is developed in the present study to investigate the dynamic responses of a power cable extending from an offshore wind turbine foundation located i...

Model testing is an important method for investigating the interaction between marine structures and soil, and the preparation of high-quality saturated clay samples plays a crucial role in laboratory testing. In this study, a new method for preparing saturated soil samples was developed by combining vacuum extraction and permeation saturation, and its performance was validated through laboratory experiments. A series of labor...
