简介:以斜伸火炬臂与船首结构连接肘板为研究对象,利用三维绕射理论计算的不同浪向下火炬臂重心处横荡、纵荡、升沉方向的加速度响应幅值算子,结合连接结构有限元模型在横荡、纵荡、升沉各方向单位加速度下的热点应力响应,建立了选取校核点在不同浪向下热点应力范围传递函数.考虑海上装置实际运行海域的波浪散点图,运用基于热点应力的谱分析方法计算得到了校核点在服役期间的累积疲劳损伤.计算结果表明,选取校核处的累积疲劳损伤值小于1,疲劳寿命满足设计寿命要求.假定结构响应为线性,通过分别考虑运动响应实部和虚部激励下的结构静态响应,由此组建热点应力范围传递函数,该方法对其他类似受船舶运动诱导惯性力作用结构的设计和疲劳分析具有参考意义.

简介:以某薄膜型液化天然气(LiquefiedNaturalGas,LNG)船的结构设计为例,开展全船屈服强度校核和基于精细网格的有限元疲劳强度分析。针对5种典型装载状态,基于美国船级社(AmericanBureauofShipping,ABS)全船强度直接计算指南,采用ABS-DLA/SFA系列软件,用三维波浪载荷预报程序对波浪随机载荷进行长期预报。基于预报结果,针对每种装载状态计算15个设计波参数组,求解全船结构在各载荷组合工况下的应力分布,继而完成屈服强度校核。以甲板机械室与穹顶甲板相交处的关键节点区域的节点设计为例开展细网格局部强度分析,并通过各种改进设计解决应力集中问题。针对2种常用典型操作装载状态及营运于北大西洋海区疲劳寿命满足40a的要求,基于ABS全船疲劳强度直接计算指南计算2个典型细化位置热点应力传递函数,通过谱分析得到疲劳累积损伤和疲劳寿命,完成疲劳强度校核。采用的全船强度和疲劳分析方法和思路适用于其他超大型船舶的结构分析。
