Prioritization of failure risk in subsea flexible pipes via data envelopment analysis

Risk-based inspection is nowadays the predominant approach to structural integrity assurance in complex engineering systems, such as those designed for and operated in deepwater environments. One of the major tasks in risk-based planning is risk ranking of the components comprising an engineering system. In this paper, a mathematical model based on data envelopment analysis is developed for this purpose, whereby two types of weights are employed: subjective judgmental weights which are provided as input, and objective which constitute the output of the model. The use of the mathematical model is illustrated in a real world system of subsea flexible pipes, which operational in the south Atlantic Shelf off the Southeast Coast of Brazil.     

潜艇薄壁大半径圆柱壳的总稳定性

本文指出了用仅受轴向压力的无肋光壳来预报各向均匀受压的异常环肋圆柱壳的总稳定性具有足够的精度，在薄壁大半径环肋圆柱总稳定模型试验中首次观察到了纵向失稳半波数m＝5，在纵横加肋圆柱壳总稳定模型试验中证明了在异常环肋圆柱壳上增设纵骨对提高总稳定性有巨大作用。此外，还指出了本文所推荐的纵横加肋圆柱壳总稳定理论临界压力公式是各种有关公式中最合适的计算公式．

海洋平台结构系统可靠性分析及其构件安全等级评判

海洋平台在服役期间将遭遇恶劣的环境载荷，研究其系统可靠性并评价其构件安全等级有着重大意义。本文采用分技界限法寻找结构的主要失效路径，以Ditlevsen界限法求取结构的系统失效概率，最后引进模糊综合评判方法对结构作综合评判．由此得到结构构件的安全等级。文中还具体分析了圆管截面极限方程的建立，讨论了影响系数对系统可靠性计算的影响，得到影响系数与系统失效概率的定性关系。按以上思路编制了空间刚架的通用可靠性分析程序，算例表明程序是合理有效的。

Structural safety assessment of a pontoon-type VLFS considering damage to the breakwater

 A structural safety assessment of a pontoon-type very large floating structure (VLFS) surrounded by a gravity-type breakwater was carried out for extreme wave conditions by considering the damage to the breakwater. Bending and shear collapses are considered to be a failure mode of the floating structure, while overturning damages the breakwater. The probability of the breakwater overturning, and the transmitted wave height before and after damage to the breakwater, are evaluated using design formulae for port and harbor facilities in Japan. The ultimate bending and shear strengths of the floating structure are calculated by the idealized structural unit method (ISUM) and FEM, respectively. The calculated failure probability for the floating structure is compared with the specified target safety level. It was found that the floating structure under consideration is most likely to fail by bending in transverse waves, and that the corresponding failure probability satisfies the target level.
