冰区海上风机的动力响应及疲劳分析

本文针对冰区作业的海上风机进行动力响应分析与疲劳损伤计算。采用Kaimal风速谱进行风载荷计算。采用K?rn?冰力谱进行冰载荷计算。分别进行风载荷、冰载荷与风冰联合作用3种不同工况下的海上风机动力响应分析与疲劳损伤评估。结果表明,风载荷作用下塔筒顶端位移要远大于冰载荷作用。风冰联合作用下风机在泥面处的支座反力与弯矩均大于单一载荷的作用。冰载荷作用下风机的疲劳损伤小于风载荷所造成的疲劳损伤,但风冰联合作用下风机的疲劳损伤均大于任一载荷单独作用。采用DNV方法计算得到的疲劳损伤值较接近风冰载荷联合作用计算结果,且偏于保守。     

大深度载人潜水器载人耐压球壳的疲劳载荷谱分析

大深度载人潜水器的载人耐压球壳是载人潜水器上的最关键部件,它不仅为载人潜水器驾驶员和科学家提供了深海作业的生存空间,而且也为众多的非耐压仪器设备提供了工作环境.载人潜水器每执行一次下潜任务,耐压球壳都要承受一次海水压力作用,随着使用次数的增加.有可能会发生载人耐压球壳的低周疲劳破坏.为了确保载人潜水器载人球壳的安全性,在设计阶段必须进行载人耐压球壳的低周疲劳寿命分析.作为载人球壳低周疲劳寿命分析的基础,必须首先确定载人耐压球壳的疲劳载荷谱.本文通过对美国Alvin深海载人潜水器的使用统计资料的深入分析,提出了可以用GUMBEL分布来描述大深度载人耐压球壳疲劳载荷谱.根据设计任务书中规定的总的下潜次数要求,最后给出了我国目前正在研制的7000米载人潜水器耐压球壳的疲劳载荷谱.     

疲劳强度对船体结构设计的影响

船舶中的销轴结构在工作过程中的受力情况类似于一悬臂梁。船舶在航行过程中的激励载荷会使销轴上的支撑结构做轻微晃动,造成销轴末端受到较大应力,导致销轴结构疲劳寿命较差。为了提高某船用销轴结构疲劳寿命,改善其设计质量。本文构建销轴的三维结构,并采用有限单元法建立销轴结构双工况有限元模型,获得销轴结构应力分布以及销轴末端位移参数。并将随机载荷谱、疲劳寿命曲线、有限元法相结合,获得销轴结构在外界随机激励载荷情况下的疲劳破坏点,该方法同样可为船舶其余结构设计提供参考。     

Numerical simulation of fatigue crack propagation under biaxial tensile loadings with phase differences

Fatigue crack propagation under the biaxial tensile loading, which loading directions are normal and parallel to the initial crack position, is highlighted in this study. Most of in-service structures and vessels are subjected to many types of loading. Generally, these loadings have different axial components with different phases. However, the structural integrities of structures and vessels are evaluated according to design codes based on theoretical and experimental investigations under a uniaxial loading condition. Most of these codes are based on the S–N curves approach. An approach that does not use S–N curves has been favored by researchers, with the fracture mechanics approach preferred for evaluating the fatigue life of structures. An advanced fracture mechanics approach was developed based on the Re-tensile Plastic zone Generating (RPG) stress criterion for fatigue crack propagation. In this study, fatigue crack propagation tests under biaxial loading with six different phase and loading conditions are performed and the effect of the phase difference under biaxial loading is evaluated. A numerical simulation method of fatigue crack propagation based on the RPG stress criterion under different biaxial loading phase conditions is presented and compared to measured data.     

Multi-scale modeling of fatigue crack propagation applied to random sequence of clustered loading

Fatigue crack propagation in marine structures is obviously governed by mechanics of the considerably different four levels of multi-scale problems. Problems of structural response to environmental loads have length scale of several hundred meters, whereas possible detectable size of cracks from initial defects in a weld is of the order of millimeters. Once a fatigue crack initiates, crack tip plasticity is of the order of several grain sizes, while the resulting fatigue crack growth in each load cycle is of the order of nanometers. In our previous work, the first author and their associates have developed the so-called CP-System, which can treat the first two multi-level problems as an integrated system. Furthermore, we have incorporated the third level of mechanics by using the stress intensity range corresponding to the repeated tensile plastic deformation ahead of the crack tip. In the present paper, we shall discuss a more rational integral equation-based formulation in order to integrate the third and fourth levels of micro-mechanics to the first two levels of continuum mechanics.The method is then applied to fatigue crack propagation under the effects of random sequence of clustered loading. As an example of the random sequence of clustered load, we shall use the so-called “storm model”. In the crack propagation simulation, we have to take into account of the plastic wake on the crack surfaces, whose thicknesses are influenced by the material parameters involved in the crack growth model. These parameters are first identified by the fatigue tests under combined constant and random loading using a CT specimen. Then, fatigue crack growth is investigated by numerical simulation and fatigue tests for various random sequences of clustered loading. The experimental and numerical results agree quite well with each other, and fatigue crack propagation is found to be considerably retarded under random sequence loading, so that the conventional equivalent stress approach may provide rather conservative results to the real seaway loading.     

Fatigue reliability—measured response of the heidrun TLP tethers

One of the most important uncertainties associated with fatigue damage of TLP tethers is the uncertainty related to fatigue loading. Higher–order load effects are important and such effects are very complicated to determine numerically. The Heidrun TLP was installed in the summer of 1995 and for this platform the forces in the top of the tethers are measured during the operational phase. In this paper the results of these measurements are discussed and compared with numerical calculations. It is shown how the measurements of fatigue loading can be used to improve the fatigue reliability and reduce the need for in-service inspections.     

Low-cycle fatigue assessment of offshore mooring chains under service loading

The integrity of mooring chains is essential to the safety of a range of offshore platforms. However, mooring line failures are occurring earlier than their design lives, with a high number of these failures occurring due to fatigue. Early in the fatigue life of the component fatigue initiation processes occur, where the fatigue hotspot is sensitive to the mean load and there is plastic strain accumulation from the multiaxial stress-strain responses of the material, leading to cyclic plastic damage accumulation. The traditional SN approach suggested by mooring standards does not consider these effects, and it is proposed that this lack of consideration under low-cycle fatigue conditions is the reason for the current non-conservative fatigue assessments of mooring chains. This paper aims to develop a fatigue approach based on a critical plane multiaxial fatigue criterion for mooring chains that can consider the damage-induced by the cyclic plasticity and the mean load effect, to investigate the importance of incorporating low-cycle fatigue into the mooring chain life prediction. To develop the critical plane approach, the multiaxial stress-strain states are extracted for the critical plane at the fatigue hotspot from a finite element model of a mooring chain. This is then correlated with a fatigue life prediction provided by conventional fatigue design data. It uses a simulation of an FPSO as a case study to demonstrate the importance of low cycle fatigue, which shows that the mean load effect is significant in reducing the fatigue life for mooring chain applications, while the effect of fatigue damage-induced cyclic plasticity is limited. The fatigue damage accumulation predicted by the critical plane approach is significantly higher than that of the traditional SN approach and should be accounted for in mooring line design.

Simulation-based fatigue crack management of ship structural details applied to longitudinal and transverse connections

It is of continuing importance for ship structural design to establish a system to compute the growth behavior of fatigue cracks propagating in structural details. In the present paper, a simulation program is developed for multiple fatigue cracks propagating in a three-dimensional stiffened panel structure, where it can predict fatigue crack lives and paths by taking into account the interaction of multiple cracks, load shedding during crack propagation and welding residual stress. Various fatigue crack propagations in longitudinal stiffeners of ship structures are investigated by both the present simulation method and experiments. From these results, it is found that the crack propagation may considerably change, depending on the loading conditions, structural details and residual stress distributions. This means that one could possibly manage to avoid fatal damage of the skin-plate by properly designing the structural details. Furthermore, these results may imply a possibility to realize a rational fatigue crack management if one can estimate the fatigue crack-propagation behavior during the ship lifecycle. The present simulation program may offer a useful numerical tool for this purpose.     

Time domain analysis procedures for fatigue assessment of a semi-submersible wind turbine

Long term time domain analysis of the nominal stress for fatigue assessment of the tower and platform members of a three-column semi-submersible was performed by fully coupled time domain analyses in Simo-Riflex-AeroDyn. By combining the nominal stress ranges with stress concentration factors, hot spot stresses for fatigue damage calculation can be obtained. The aim of the study was to investigate the necessary simulation duration, number of random realisations and bin sizes for the discretisation of the joint wind and wave distribution. A total of 2316 3-h time domain simulations, were performed.In mild sea states with wind speeds between 7 and 9 m/s, the tower and pontoon experienced high fatigue damage due to resonance in the first bending frequency of the tower from the tower wake blade passing frequency (3P).Important fatigue effects seemed to be captured by 1 h simulations, and the sensitivity to number of random realisations was low when running simulations of more than 1 h. Fatigue damage for the tower base converged faster with simulation duration and number of random realisations than it did for the platform members.Bin sizes of 2 m/s for wind, 1 s for wave periods and 1 m for wave heights seemed to give acceptable estimates of total fatigue damage. It is, however, important that wind speeds that give coinciding 3P and tower resonance are included and that wave periods that give the largest pitch motion are included in the analysis.     

近海结构疲劳计算中波浪与结构建模探讨

文章根据作者已提出的基于海况频度分布的统计分类及非线性动力学计算的疲劳评估方法,通过进一步改进波浪能的输入,提出了一种更为有效的计算方法。通过将这一方法运用到一典型导管架结构的疲劳计算,文中首先研究了波浪方向对疲劳破坏的影响,进而分析了波浪谱中若干重要参数及HHT-α时间积分中步长对疲劳计算结果的影响。通过对结构反应的统计研究,发现海况的恶劣程度并不直接影响结构响应非高斯趋势的显著程度。文中提出的方法在减少不确定性的同时又不降低安全标准,有效提高了疲劳计算的精确度,从而可以降低相关近海结构建设和维护成本。文中的计算方法已被成功地应用于北海及墨西哥湾数座近海结构在风和波浪荷载作用下的疲劳评估。
