FPSO动态海底电缆保护外皮破损结构强度分析

某动态海底电缆在年度检查时发现电缆锁夹上方电缆保护外皮脱落、露出铠装的情况，影响安全生产。采用OrcaFlex软件建立分析模型，结合浮式生产储卸油装置（Floating Production Storage and Offloading，FPSO）的不同运行工况，对海底电缆的结构状态进行结构强度分析和疲劳分析。经计算，台风条件下的FPSO偏移量是影响海底电缆结构强度的重要因素。因海底电缆保护外皮破损位置的载荷较低，结构强度和疲劳寿命满足要求。根据相关文献计算铠装层的腐蚀速率，海底电缆强度满足要求。     

Design and model test of a soft-connected lattice-structured floating solar photovoltaic concept for harsh offshore conditions

Various types of floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) devices have been previously proposed, designed and constructed with applications primarily limited to onshore water bodies or near-shore regions with benign environmental conditions. This paper proposes a novel FPV concept which can survive harsh environmental conditions with extreme wave heights above 10 m. This concept uses standardised lightweight semi-submersible floats made of circular materials as individual modules. The floating modules are soft connected with ropes to form an FPV array. We first present the conceptual design of the floats and the connection systems, including hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, and structural assessments of the floats. To verify the motion response performance, we carried out 1:60 scaled model tests for a 2 by 3 array under regular and irregular wave conditions. From the time series and response spectra, the motion characteristics of the array and the mooring responses are analysed in detail. The proposed concept exhibits excellent performances in terms of modular motions with limited wave overtopping and no contact is observed between adjacent modules under the extreme wave conditions. The findings of this study can serve as a valuable reference to developing reliable and cost-effective FPV technologies for offshore conditions.     

某深水通用型FPSO消防水管路系统支架整体强度分析

目前在工程问题中，对于管道支架强度的计算往往仅考虑单支架强度而忽略相邻支架整体强度。以某深水通用型浮式生产储卸油装置（Floating Production Storage and Offloading，FPSO）消防水管路系统部分管道为研究对象，采用CAESARⅡ管道应力分析软件提取管道支架荷载数据，分别对单支架受力的应力与变形情况和相邻支架整体受力的应力与变形情况进行计算与分析。在不同算例中，支架最大应力与变形同受力情况相关，但在相邻支架整体受力下，支架最大应力与变形均显著降低。结果表明，单支架强度的传统计算方式偏于保守。在实际工程中对于管道支架强度分析应综合考虑相邻支架整体强度。     

Planar multibody dynamics of floating Y-method installation system and the lowering of subsea equipment based on finite element modeling

The subsea equipment installation is a complex operation that demands a precise and reliable approach to avoid the accidental losses of lives and equipment damage. The multibody installation system is overwhelmed with the dynamic behavior and responses of the system, which signifies the importance of analysis of the Multibody Dynamic System (MBDS). The modeling of MBDS is challenging and complicated due to the interconnectivity and nonlinearity assigned to them. In this paper, the planar dynamics of a floating multibody system are attained by employing two tugboats and a payload with a contextual offshore installation scenario to be applied in a water depth of over 1500 m. The lifting operation is nine degrees of freedom (9-DOF) multibody model done with the help of two strands and three bodies having 3-DOF each. The coupled equations of motion are established by deploying the Velocity Transformation Technique. The hydrodynamic and two-strand forces are simplified as linear, while the hydrostatic and mooring forces are treated as nonlinear external loads. The numerical solution to the equations for the MBDS is obtained from the Runge Kutta Method of Fourth-Order. Furthermore, the Finite Element Modeling approach discusses the installation operation using Y-method. The results of the proposed numerical model are validated by comparing it with the numerical simulation from OrcaFlex, and the results from both models are found to be in good agreement. The findings of this study will help improve the safe and stable installation of deep-water multibody structures.

Fluid-structure-material coupling analysis for a floating laminated structure consisting of high-stiffness panels and a soft core

This paper presents a fluid-structure-material coupling analysis for the interaction between water waves and a very large floating laminated structure (VLFLS), which is consisted of two enhanced ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) panels and a middle lightweight foamed rubber core. The representative volume element (RVE) method is used to design the mechanical properties of enhanced UHPC and foamed rubber, and the parameterized formulas are presented to reveal the dependency between macroscale mechanical properties and mesoscale hierarchical characteristics. By idealizing the rubber core as a uniformly distributed spring layer, an eighth-order differential equation of motion of the laminated structure is derived. In the context of linear potential flow theory, a hydroelastic analytical model is developed for the floating laminated structure with finite length under wave action. In the process of solving velocity potentials, a complicated dispersion equation for the wave motion below the laminated structure is derived, and this equation contains two pairs of conjugate complex roots with positive real parts. The various hydrodynamic quantities, including reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient, deflection, shear force, and bending moment, are calculated. The hydroelastic model is confirmed by considering the convergence of calculation results and the energy conservation of wave propagation. The coupled effects of wave action, material characteristics, structural parameters, and edge conditions on the hydroelastic and mechanical response of the floating laminated structure are clarified to provide important information regarding the optimal design of such structures.
