Reliability analysis of wake-induced collision of flexible risers     

《Applied Ocean Research》2017

Collision between risers is an important design and operational concern, especially in deep water since the probability of collision tends to increase as the riser length increases. Riser collision is due to the joint effects of many processes, i.e. environmental loads, hydrodynamic interference and surface floater motions and the most of them are stochastic processes. This paper provides an approach for estimating the failure probability of riser collision by considering these joint effects and their stochastic nature. Firstly, a procedure for establishing the distribution function of the extreme minimum relative distance between two risers is introduced based on simulation tools and statistical data. Numerical simulation is performed to compute the minimum distance between risers for a given duration. Repeated simulations are applied so that the extreme value distribution can be established. Secondly, reliability analysis is performed by considering the uncertainties of input parameters related to environmental loads and riser system. The collision probability is calculated based on both the First/Second Order Reliability Method and the Monte Carlo simulation techniques.  相似文献   

Geochronological, isotopic, and geochemical data from Permo-Triassic granitic gneisses and granitoids of the Colombian Central Andes   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1

New U–Pb SHRIMP ages in zircon, Ar–Ar ages in micas and amphiboles, Nd–Sr isotopes, and major and REE geochemical analyses in granitic gneisses and granitic stocks of the Central Cordillera of Colombia indicate the presence of a collisional orogeny in Permo-Triassic times in the Northern Andes related to the construction of the Pangea supercontinent. The collision is recorded by metamorphic U–Pb SHRIMP ages in inherited zircons around 280 Ma and magmatic U–Pb SHRIMP ages in neoformed zircons around 250 Ma within syntectonic crustal granitic gneisses. Magmatic U–Pb SHRIMP and Ar–Ar Triassic ages around 228 Ma in granitic stocks indicate the presence of late tectonic magmatism related to orogenic collapse and the beginning of the breakup of the supercontinent. During this period, the Central Cordillera of Colombia would have been located between the southern United States and northern Venezuela, in the leading edge of the Gondwana supercontinent.  相似文献

探讨了中国周缘板块的联合作用对中国大陆地震的控制和影响，进一步研究了中国大陆西部及周边地区的地震活动特征。结果发现，该区域的地震活动除了有高潮和低潮的轮回特征外，还有相互消长的关系，并且地震相互消长有一个特定的比例。这一特点，对于中国大陆强震活动主体区的预测，尤其是对地震高潮期的结束时间提供了一个判据。  相似文献

Has the plate boundary shifted from central Hokkaido to the eastern part of the Sea of Japan?

A NS trending Cenozoic fold-and-thrust belt has developed in the western part of the Hidaka Collision Zone (HCZ), central Hokkaido, Japan. A quantitative estimation of the late Cenozoic convergence rate at the front of the Hidaka thrust system is important in revealing the plate tectonic framework around northern Japan. High-resolution seismic reflection profiling across the active fault-related folds was carried out to ascertain the temporal change in the crustal shortening rate. Overlapping ramp anticlines and growth folds within thrust sheets were examined using balanced cross-sections combined with industry seismic and drilling data. The rate of shortening was examined using a 3.5 Ma horizon and late Quaternary horizons at 115 and 41 ka. These horizons show that the convergence rate of the Hidaka thrust system has not decreased during the last 3.5 Ma. This suggests that the plate boundary between the Eurasian (Amurian) and North American (Okhotsk) plates has not jumped from the central part of Hokkaido to the eastern part of the Sea of Japan since 3.5 Ma and that a significant amount of plate convergence is still being absorbed in the Hidaka Collision Zone.  相似文献   

Geodynamic setting of gold deposits in Eastern and Central Trans-Baikal (Chita Region, Russia)   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

It is proposed that there are three types of gold deposits in Eastern and Central Transbaikalia (Trans-Baikal province), namely: (i) high-sulphide intrusion-related deposits with some signs of porphyry deposits, (ii) low-sulphide intrusion-related deposits, and (iii) low-sulphide epithermal Au–Ag deposits. Most of the gold deposits belong to the first two types, and their ages are Middle–Late Jurassic. Deposits of the third type are not numerous, and their age is Early Cretaceous.The majority of the gold mineralization is spatially related to the two branches of the Mongolia–Okhotsk suture, along which Siberia collided, at the Early/Middle Jurassic boundary, with the Mongolia–North China continent and the Onon island-arc terrane located between the two continents. Collision-related thrusting, folding and magmatism lasted until the latest Jurassic, when they gave way to post-collisional rifting that continued until the end of Early Cretaceous.According to their age, relation to magmatism and tectonic framework, the intrusion-related deposits (high- and low-sulphide) were formed in a regional collisional setting. Extensional environments at that time existed only in local areas in the roofs of great magmatic chambers. Low-sulphide epithermal deposits were formed during Early Cretaceous post-collisional rifting.  相似文献

According to tectono-stratigraphical division principle,different units in KangguertageHuangshan collision zone,Eastern Tianshan,are divided into order and disorder two types of stratum-rock associations,which belong to two kinds of different tectono-volcanic activity belts.The collision ororeny and ductile shear zone have a strong space-time coupling.Based on the island arcbearing volcanic rock on both sides of the collision zone,time of ore-forming and rock-forming,characteristics of collision granit,geochemical province,special multistage collision orogeny and intracontinental orogeny basin-forming developed features have been found.Gold and copper deposits,with the relation to the collision orogeny,are divided into seven genetic types.The ten metallogenic zones are classified into two kinds of ore-forming system of paleo-continental margin.Metallogenesis of gold deposits can be classified into five stages.Gold and copper deposits are distributed in belts with the relation to the development of the collision orogeny.The distribution of main large scale copper deposits in the north part of the collision zone and most large-middle scale gold deposits in the south part of the collision zone can direct the prospecting for gold and copper deposits.The actual targets are put forward.  相似文献

在陆地上，板块边的冲撞地区一般都是呈现地形复杂，地表和地下的质量分布不均衡、有强烈的地壳运动和构造运动，因此，该地区的重力场（重力异常、垂线偏差，大地水准面）变化剧烈。对它的归算和推估都需要作特殊的考虑。本文以位于欧亚板块和印度板块边缘冲撞地区的珠穆朗玛峰测区的重力场求定为例，进行讨论。  相似文献
