Wind-Vortex-Induced Vibrations of a Deepwater Jacket Pipe and Vibration Suppression Using a Nonlinear Energy Sink

The purpose of this study is to investigate the suppression effect of a nonlinear energy sink(NES)on the wind-vortex-induced pipe vibration and explore the influence of damping,stiffness,and NES installation position on the suppression effect.In this work,the wind-vortex-induced vibration of an elastic pipe of a deepwater jacket was studied,and vibrations were suppressed by using an NES.A van der Pol wake oscillator was used to simulate vortex-induced force,and the dynamic equation of the pipe considering the NES was established.The Galerkin method was applied to discretize the motion equation,and the vortex-induced vibration(VIV)of the pipe at reduced wind speeds was numerically analyzed.The novelty of this research is that particle swarm optimization was used to optimize the parameters of the NES to improve vibration suppression.The influence of the installation position,nonlinear stiffness,and damping parameters of the NES on vibration suppression was analyzed.Results showed that the optimized parameter combinations of the NES can effectively reduce wind-vortex-induced pipe vibration.The installation position of the NES had a significant effect on vibration suppression,and the midpoint of the pipe was the optimal NES installation position.An increase in stiffness or a 10% decrease in damping may cause vibration suppression failure.The results of this study provide some guidance for VIV suppression in deepwater jacket pipes.

Lateral ring compression test applied to a small caliber steel jacket:Identification of a constitutive model

The evolution of threats and scenarios requires continuous performance improvements of ballistic protections for armed forces.From a modeling point of view,it is necessary to use sufficiently precise material behavior models to accurately describe the phenomena observed during the impact of a projectile on a protective equipment.In this context,the goal of this paper is to characterize the behavior of a small caliber steel jacket by combining experimental and numerical approaches.The experimental method is based on the lateral compression of ring specimens directly machined from the thin and small ammunition.Various speeds and temperatures are considered in a quasi-static regime in order to reveal the strain rate and temperature dependencies of the tested material.The Finite Element Updating Method(FEMU)is used.Experimental results are coupled with an inverse optimization method and a finite element numerical model in order to determine the parameters of a constitutive model representative of the jacket material.Predictions of the present model are verified against experimental results and a parametric study as well as a discussion on the identified material parameters are proposed.The results indicate that the strain hardening parameter can be neglected and the behavior of the thin steel jacket can be described by a modeling without strain hardening sensitivity.

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Three-Bucket Jacket Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbines During the Lowering Process

The three-bucket jacket foundation is a new type of foundation for offshore wind turbine that has the advantages of fast construction speed and suitability for deep water. The study of the hoisting and launching process is of great significance to ensure construction safety in actual projects. In this paper, a new launching technology is proposed that is based on the foundation of the three-bucket jacket for offshore wind turbine. A complete time domain simulation of the launching process of three-bucket jacket foundation is carried out by a theoretical analysis combined with hydrodynamic software Moses. At the same time, the effects of different initial air storage and sea conditions on the motion response of the structure and the hoisting cable tension are studied. The results show that the motion response of the structure is the highest when it is lowered to 1.5 times the bucket height. The natural period of each degree of freedom of the structure increases with the increase of the lowering depth. The structural motion response and the hoisting cable tension vary greatly in the early phases of Stages Ⅰ and Ⅲ, smaller in Stage Ⅱ, and gradually stabilize in the middle and late phases of Stage Ⅲ.

Modal Parameter Identification Method of Jacket Platform Structure Based on AFDD and Optimized FBFFT

Offshore platforms are susceptible to structural damage due to prolonged exposure to random loads,such as wind,waves,and currents.This is particularly true for platforms that have been in service for an extended period.Identifying the modal parameters of offshore platforms is crucial for damage diagno sis,as it serves as a prerequisite and foundation for the process.Therefore,it holds great significance to prioritize the identification of these parameters.Aiming at the shortcomings of the traditional Fast Bayesian Fast Fourier Transform(FBFFT) method,this paper proposes a modal parameter identification method based on Automatic Frequency Domain Decomposition(AFDD) and optimized FBFFT.By introducing the AFDD method and Powell optimization algorithm,this method can automatically identify the initial value of natural frequency and solve the objective function efficiently and simply.In order to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method,it is used to identify the modal parameters of the IASC-ASCE benchmark model and the j acket platform structure model,and the Most Probable Value(MPV) of the modal parameters and their respective posterior uncertainties are successfully identified.The identification results of the IASC-ASCE benc hmark model are compared with the identification re sults of the MODE-ID method,which verifies the effectivene ss and accuracy of the proposed method for identifying modal parameters.It provides a simple and feasible method for quantifying the influence of uncertain factors such as environmental parameters on the identification results,and also provide s a reference for modal parameter identification of other large structures.

有限元仿真模拟在超声喷水无损检测用水套设计中的应用

水套在超声喷水穿透检测中具有重要作用,为设计出具有良好耦合效果的水套,减少水流紊流对声波耦合的影响,本文通过构建探头套几何模型、物理建模、数值求解的有限元仿真方法对探头水套进行流体动力学仿真。结果表明,在无整流装置下,从入水口射入的水流撞击探头套内壁,产生严重紊流,进入出水管后,紊流状态仍然保持,水流流线方向杂乱。增加整流装置后,探头套内紊流得到很好的抑制,使得进入出水管的水流流线方向趋向一致,这种现象随着整流片增多而效果越加明显。本文为后续模拟水流经过出水口后的水柱状态,特别是随着初始水流速度加大后的水柱状态,以及利用有限元多物理场模拟功能,在加入声场后,模拟紊流状况下声场的变化打下了基础。

剪切模式对砂-钢界面特性的影响

针对海上风机导管架基础在安装过程中发生的桩土界面单向剪切行为和服役过程中发生的持续循环剪切行为,分别采用常应力和等刚度边界条件对石英砂/钙质砂开展单向和循环剪切试验,研究不同剪切模式下界面强度发挥的细观作用。结果发现:随着单向剪切距离的增加,土样破碎带厚度逐渐增大,钢界面粗糙度下降;循环剪切幅值越大,颗粒排布重塑越充分,产生的法向位移越大。在大位移单向剪切和循环剪切过程中,破碎带的存在会改变土体的初始结构,使其具有强烈方向性。由于钙质砂的硬度较低,同等粒径下其形状相比石英砂颗粒更不规则,因此其在同等剪切距离下会产生更大的破碎量,引起较大体缩,而破碎后的石英砂棱角较多,在钢界面扰动下更易发生旋转,引起大位移单向剪切后的循环剪切过程中土样剪胀增加。

对航空机载液氢储罐进行绝热结构的绝热性能及轻量化综合研究是提高飞机续航能力的关键解决路径。本文以液氢储量为1450kg的液氢储罐为例,对泡沫/冷屏复合绝热结构(SOFI/VCS)及变密度多层真空夹套绝热结构(VD-MLI真空夹套)进行绝热及轻量化对比研究。当两种绝热结构的绝热性能一致,储罐日蒸发率≤4%时,VD-MLI真空夹套绝热结构重量相较于SOFI/VCS复合绝热结构减轻50%,此时适合采用双胆储罐结构;当储罐日蒸发率增大到6%左右时,两种绝热结构的重量相差较小,SOFI/VCS复合绝热结构仅比VD-MLI真空夹套绝热结构重约50kg;而当储罐的日蒸发率>7%时,SOFI/VCS复合绝热结构在轻量化方面更具优势,此时储罐宜采用单壁结构,且日蒸发率越大,单壁储罐轻量化优势越明显。本文通过探究两种绝热结构绝热性能与重量的对应变化规律,为航空机载液氢储罐绝热结构及轻量化的方案设计提供理论依据,同时为液氢的高效长时间存储技术发展奠定一定的基础。
