Team: D. Ciochetto (CRMC); C. Baxter, A. Bradshaw, and J. Hu (URI); E. Hines and B. Moaveni (Tufts); J. Strout (NGI).

The goal of this study is to monitor the natural frequencies, damping characteristics, and deformations of the jacket structures currently in service at the Block Island Wind Farm. The information will be used to check design assumptions and inform future designs.
