环境烈度因子在FPSO船体梁强度评估中的应用

由于作业方式不同,用于计算FPSO与不限定航线条件下船舶设计载荷的规范计算公式不一样,如何将现有的关于普通海船的规范用于FPSO的设计评估是FPSO研究中的关键问题.基于现有常规钢质海船规范,文章采用环境烈度因子(ESF)对用于计算运营于无限航区船舶设计载荷的规范公式进行修正,将修正后的公式作为FPSO设计载荷的计算公式.利用所得FPSO载荷计算公式计算某30万吨FPSO设计载荷,并采用薄壁梁理论对船体梁强度进行校核.将校核结果与未经ESF修正的船体梁校核结果进行比较,发现未经ESF修正的船体梁校核结果明显偏大.同时,采用薄壁梁理论进行船体梁剪切强度评估,可以避免建立全船有限元模型.

The application of environmental severity factor on hull girder strength evaluation of FPSO

The rule formulas which used to calculate the design loads of FPSO and navigating-free ships are different because of the different operating conditions between FPSO and common ships. It is a key point that how to apply current seagoing ships rules to designing and evaluating FPSO. Based on the current seagoing ships rules, the thesis adopted environ-ment severe factors to modify the formulas which intended to calculate design loads of ships operating in unrestricted ser-vice conditions. The modified formulas were used to calculate the design loads for FPSO. Then the obtained formulas were utilized to calculate the design loads of a FPSO with 300000 DWT which followed by a hull girder strength check based on thin-wall theory. The check results of ESF method were compared with those which weren't modified with ESF and the lat-ter was greater than the former obviously. Meanwhile, it was a time-saving method to apply thin-walled theory to evaluating hull girder strength which avoided whole ship finite element model.
