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。

Investigation of Sea Wave and Structure Modelling for Fatigue Assessment of Offshore Structures

Based on the statistical classification of wave scatter diagram,and nonlinear dynamic approach for calculating the fatigue presented by the author,and by efficiently improving the wave energy input,an efficient procedure for calculating the fatigue damage of offshore structures due to wave loading is presented.By applying this procedure into the fatigue calculation of a typical jacket structure,the directional effects and the peak enhancement of waves on the fatigue damage of the jacket structure were first...
