Fatigue crack damage caused by the wave load brings the structure of jacket platform in service potential failure risk when subjected to the extreme load. However, there is lack of efficient method to evaluate the influence of crack damage on the structural performance because of the huge scale difference between the meso-scale damage and the macro-scale structure. Based on the multi-scale finite element method (FEM), to improve the efficiency of structural analysis, the damaged region of the structure is modeled with fine FE mesh (shell element) to describe the fatigue crack, and the undamaged area is modeled with coarse FE mesh (beam element). Furthermore, the applicability and superiority of this multi-scale model was validated through comparing the results obtained from the beam, multi-scale and shell models. The influence of the time-varying crack damage on the residual strength of jacket platform is then revealed based on the multi-scale FE model. The results show that the proposed multi-scale method can accurately describe fatigue crack damage in the macro-scale structure, and be applied to investigate the influence of meso-scale structural damage under the extreme load condition.

A novel synergistic multi-scale modeling framework with a coupling of micro- and meso-scale is proposed to predict damage behaviors of 2D-triaxially braided composite (2DTBC). Based on the Bridge model, the internal stress and micro damage of constituent materials are respectively coupled with the stress and damage of tow. The initial effective elastic properties of tow (IEEP) used as the predefined data are estimated by micro-mechanics models. Due to in-situ effects, stress concentration factor (SCF) is considered in the micro matrix, exhibiting progressive damage accumulation. Comparisons of IEEP and strengths between the Bridge and Chamis’ theory are conducted to validate the values of IEEP and SCF. Based on the representative volume element (RVE), the macro properties and damage modes of 2DTBC are predicted to be consistent with available experiments and meso-scale simulation. Both axial and transverse damage mechanisms of 2DTBC under tensile or compressive load are revealed. Micro fiber and matrix damage accumulations have significant effects on the meso-scale axial and transverse damage of tows due to multi-scale coupling effects. Different from existing meso-/multi-scale models, the proposed multi-scale model can capture a crucial phenomenon that the transverse damage of tow is vulnerable to micro fiber fracture. The proposed multi-scale framework provides a robust tool for future systematic studies on constituent materials level to larger-scale aeronautical materials.
