Research Interests
Prof. Mehmanparast's research focus is primarily on the design optimisation, life extension, and integrity assessment of Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) structures. His work integrates advanced modelling, experimental methods, manufacturing innovations, and probabilistic techniques to address critical challenges in the ORE sector.
Key examples of past and ongoing research projects he has led as Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-Investigator (Co-I) include:
- Offshore Wind Turbine Foundation Flange Study (funded by the Carbon Trust OWA Programme)
- Structural Design and Integrity Enhancement of Floating Offshore Support Structures (funded by the Supergen Wind Hub)
- Corrosion and Fatigue Protection of Offshore Wind Turbine Structures Using Additive Manufacturing Technology (funded by the Supergen ORE Hub)
- Assessment of Crack Arrest Behavior in Modern Structural Steels (funded by EPSRC, TWI, and Lloyd’s Register)
- Residual Stress Effects on Fatigue Life Assessment of Offshore Wind Turbines (funded by STFC)
- CoTide: Co-Design to Deliver Scalable Tidal Stream Energy (funded by EPSRC)
- SLIC JIP: Structural Lifecycle Industry Collaboration Joint Industry Project (funded by a consortium of 10 of the world’s largest offshore wind operators and the Department of Energy & Climate Change)
