Nonlinear coupled dynamic response of offshore Spar platforms under regular sea waves     

A. K. Agarwal  A. K. Jain 《Ocean Engineering》2003,30(4):492-551

Many innovative floating offshore structures have been proposed for cost effectiveness of oil and gas exploration and production in water depths exceeding one thousand meters in recent years. One such type of platform is the offshore floating Spar platform. The Spar platform is modelled as a rigid body with six degrees-of-freedom, connected to the sea floor by multi-component catenary mooring lines, which are attached to the Spar platform at the fairleads. The response dependent stiffness matrix consists of two parts (a) the hydrostatics provide restoring force in heave, roll and pitch, (b) the mooring lines provide the restoring force which are represented here by nonlinear horizontal springs. A unidirectional regular wave model is used for computing the incident wave kinematics by Airy’s wave theory and force by Morison’s equation. The response analysis is performed in time domain to solve the dynamic behavior of the moored Spar platform as an integrated system using the iterative incremental Newmark’s Beta approach. Numerical studies are conducted for sea state conditions with and without coupling of degrees-of-freedom.  相似文献   

Numerical Analysis of Wave Forces on Arbitrarily Shaped Multi-Pillars Over Varying Topography     

Zhang Libang Research Engineer  First Institute of Oceanography  Qingdao 《中国海洋工程》1991,(4)

The modified hybrid element method (MHEM) is utilized to predict and analyze wave forces on arbitrarily shaped multiple bodies. This method can be applied to waves of all water depths, i. e. shallow, intermediate, and deep waters, on slowly varying seabed. The MHEM employs the ICCG method to save CPU and storage, thus the computation of wave forces for large multi-body systems can be carried out on microcomputers. Numerical results of the present method are compared with experimental data and other solutions. It is shown that the MHEM provides more accurate solutions of the wave forces than other numerical methods do. Therefore, the methodology presented herein can be used in the design of coastal and ocean structures.  相似文献   

Static Analysis of Collision Strength of Offshore Platform     

Li Runpei Chen Weigang Gu Yongning Professor  Shanghai Jiao Tong University  Shanghai Assistant  Shanghai Jiao Tong University  Shanghai 《中国海洋工程》1996,(1)

In this paper a numerical analysis method combining FEM incemental technique with limit analysis concept is proposed for the study of the static strength of offshore platform in collision. Large deformation and plasticity are accounted for and the limit yield surface expressed by generalized stress for a tubular section is derived. The modified stiffness matrix of space beam element is formulated by Plastic Node Method. The buckling behavior of beam columns can also be taken into account. It can trace the generation of plastic hinges during loading and finally the ultimate strength of offshore platform against collision is obtained.  相似文献

Fuzzy Optimum Model of Semi-Structural Decision for Lectotype Optimization of Offshore Platforms   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  

CHEN  Shouyu 《中国海洋工程》2001,(4):453-466

In the process of concept design of offshore platforms, it is necessary to select the best from feasible alternatives through comparison and filter. The criterion set, used to evaluate and select the satisfying alternative, consists of many qualitative and quantitative factors. Therefore, the selection is a problem of multicriteria and semi- structural decision- making. Different from traditional methods in semi- structural decision- making, a new framework and methodology is presented in this paper for evaluation of offshore platform alternatives. First, the criterion set is established for the evaluation of alternatives. Next, the approach is studied to construct the relative membership degree matrix, in which both qualitative and quantitative factors are consistent with the uniform calculating standard. And then a new weight-assessing method is developed for calculation of the weights based on the relative membership degree matrix. Finally, a multi-hierarchy fuzzy optimum model is adopted to select t  相似文献

A fuzzy approach to the lectotype optimization of offshore platforms   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

S. Chen  G. Fu   《Ocean Engineering》2003,30(7):877-891

Lectotype optimization of offshore platforms is of particular importance in the concept design process. Lectotype optimization involves multiple objectives with uncertainty and so is a problem of multiple attribute decision making. To date, there have been few published works on this topic in the context of offshore engineering. This paper develops a framework and methodology for evaluation of offshore platform alternatives, where a fuzzy optimum model is proposed to integrate the influence of each objective in the criteria set, and a new weight-assessing method is developed to mimic the decision maker’s experience and preference based on complementary pairwise comparisons. A case study shows that the new framework and methodology is scientific, reasonable and easy to use in practice.  相似文献

大洋钻探计划（ODP）结束以后实施的整合大洋钻探计划（IODP）与以往钻探计划不同的是将以多个钻探平台为主，其航次将进入过去ODP无法进入的地区，将在古环境、海底资源（包括气体水合物）、地震机制、大洋岩石圈、海平面变化、深部生物圈等研究方面有所突破。从ODP到IODP有一过渡机构－ISAS，于2001年6月开始运作，到IODP开始实施时结束使命。ISAS将负责航次建议书的接受与评估、确保ODP与IODP的平稳过渡及负责与IODP有关的公共活动等工作。  相似文献
