For better utilization of ocean and coastal space, hydrocarbon products can be stored in the floating tanks, which can be enclosed by barge system. The barge system can be moored through pile foundations. The tanks are moored through marine fenders connected to barges. In the system, hydrodynamic and mechanical interaction problems are involved. Different scenarios including two barge, three barge and four barge systems are investigated. In addition, one tank plus four barge system are also studied. Hydrodynamic interactions between different bodies are firstly studied to investigate the significance of interaction. Different barge configurations are then considered in terms of mechanical interaction significance. Tank dynamic responses with and without hydrodynamic interaction are evaluated.

Abstract. The dynamic response of the Liyutan earth dam to the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake (ML=7.3) in Taiwan was numerically analyzed. First, the staged construction of the dam was simulated. Then, seepage analysis, considering a 60-m water level, was performed. After seepage analysis, the initial static stress (prior to dynamic loading) was established in the dam. Both the horizontal and vertical acceleration time histories recorded at the base of the dam were used in the numerical simulations. The dynamic responses of the dam were analyzed for 50 s in the time domain. The simulated results were in agreement with the monitored data. The transfer function analysis and Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) were used to compare the results and to perceive the response characteristics of the dam. In particular, the time-frequency-energy plots of the HHT can reveal the timing and time frame of the dominant frequencies of the dynamic response. The influences of the initial shear modulus and uni-axial earthquake loading were also investigated.

Simulation Results

Considering the disastrous consequences of the oil tank failure, it is of great importance to ensure the safety of the large-scale oil tank under earthquakes. This study sheds light on investigating the dynamic response of a prototype 100,000 m3 cylindrical oil-storage tank under various seismic excitations. The foundation of the tank is also considered in this study so that the obtained results are closer to the reality. Shaking table tests are conducted using a 1/20 scale liquid-tank-foundation system under various seismic excitations. The test results reveal that the dynamic responses such as accelerations and the deformation of the test specimen in the major and minor vibration directions do not differ significantly. Finite element models are constructed for the test specimen and the prototype tank and are validated through comparing the simulation results with the test data. The simulation results suggest that it might be necessary to stiffen the locations on the tank wall where the thickness of the tank wall changes because the stresses at such locations may be close or even exceed the yield strength of the structural steel under severe earthquakes.

Mechanical Models

In order to study the dynamic response of the integrated station-bridge structure under the pile-soil interaction, a model was established by finite element software for dynamic analysis. According to a practical project, two mechanical models are established: one is the pile-soil interaction model, the other is the rigid foundation model. The dynamic responses of the two models were analyzed respectively, and then the results were compared. The results show that: the structure with pile-soil interaction has a longer period and higher flexibility; Under the action of frequently occurred earthquakes, the maximum displacement of the structure with pile-soil interaction increases and the base shear decreases; Under the action of seldomly occurred earthquakes, the structural displacement and base shear under the pile-soil interaction become larger, and the transverse displacement is more affected than the longitudinal displacement. It is concluded that: the assumption of rigid foundation makes the result more conservative, and the influence of pile-soil interaction cannot be ignored in seismic response analysis.

Structural Length

For case of oil/gas exploitation and mining in deep water, the length of riser is pretty large and, consequently, it brings huge challenges in both offshore installation and production operations and results in significant cost elevation due to the factors such as extreme tension loads induced from riser suspended self-weight and large structural flexibility. Therefore, there are several alternative riser configurations, e.g. lazy wave, hybrid tower and lazy-wave riser beside free hanging catenary, which have been proposed. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics and responses of several risers with typical configurations are considered and compared with each other based on our numerical simulations. Firstly, the nonlinear dynamic model of the riser systems are developed based on our 3d dynamic riser equations along with the modified FEM simulations. Then the dynamic response is analyzed based on our 3d curved flexible beam approach where the structural curvature changes with its spatial position and time in terms of vector equations. Compared with the linear approach, the nonlinear FEM method is used so as to consider large displacement/deformation, configuration geometry and structural stiffness changing with body motion. Moreover, the hydrodynamic force is considered as being related to body motion too. Based on the FEM numerical simulations, the influences of the amplitude/frequency of the top vessel motion along with the buoyancy modules/tower distribution along structural length on riser’s dynamic responses, in terms of the temporal-spatial evolution of displacement, curvature/bending stress and dynamic tension, are studied for different riser’s configurations. Our results show that the dynamic responses, particularly the maximum top tension, of different riser systems significantly change. Among the examined riser configurations, the response of the riser with more buoyancy modules may have lower value, and buoyancy distribution along structural length can influence the top tension and curvature.

In this paper, dynamic response analysis of a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) with Spar-type floating foundation is presented. The FOWT mounts a 100kW down-wind turbine, and is grid-connected. It was launched at sea on 9th June 2012, and moored on 11th for the purpose of the demonstration experiment. During the experiment, the FOWT was attacked by severe typhoon events twice. Among them, Sanba (international designation: 1216) was the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide in 2012. The central atmospheric pressure was 940 hPa when it was close to the FOWT, and the maximum significant wave height of 9.5m was recorded at the site. In this paper, the dynamic responses of the platform motion, the stresses at the tower sections and the chain tensions during the typhoon event, Sanba (1216), have been analyzed, and compared with the measured data. Through the comparison, validation of the numerical simulation tool (Adams with SparDyn developed by the authors) has been made.

A typical engine front end accessory drive system (FEADS) is mathematically modeled through Hamilton’s principle and Newton’s second law. In this model, the belt’s flexural rigidity and pulley’s eccentricity are considered. Eccentricities of the pulleys are introduced into governing motion equations of the belt spans through the boundary conditions and then transformed to external forces acting on the belt spans. Vibration modes and natural frequencies of the FEADS are calculated by the state-space technique of the complex mode theory. Dynamic responses of the FEADS at different rotational rates of the crankshaft are calculated by solving the spatially discretized governing equations obtained by Galerkin method. The modeling and solution methods are formulated and programmed in a general purposed code. The study shows that the typical resonance and beat phenomenon happen in a certain portion of the belt spans at a certain rotational rate by the excitations of the pulley’s eccentricity. According to the modal analysis and dynamic response analysis, an optimization method based on a genetic algorithm is proposed. By comparing the vibration amplitudes of belt spans before and after optimization at different rotational rates, this optimization method is verified to be effective in reducing transverse vibrations of the belt spans.

A fast, reliable and optimized numerical procedure of the hydrodynamic response analysis of a slender-body structure is presented. With this method, the dynamic response and reliability of a six-leg jack-up-type wind turbine installation vessel under various environmental conditions is analyzed. The modified Morison equation is used to calculate the wave and wind-driven current excitation forces on the slender-body members. The Det Norske Veritas (DNV) rule-based formula is used to calculate the wind loads acting on the superstructure of the jack-up leg. From the modal analysis, the natural period and standardized displacement of the structure are determined. The Newmark-beta time-integration method is used to solve the equation of motion generating the time-varying dynamic responses of the structure. A parametric study is carried out for various current velocities and wind speeds. In addition, a reliability analysis is conducted to predict the effects of uncertainty of the wave period and wave height on the safety of structural design, using the reliability index to indicate the reliability of the dynamic response on the critical structural members.

In this study, advanced hydrodynamic models are proposed to predict dynamic response of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) in combined wave and current conditions and validated by laboratory and full-scale semi-submersible platforms. Firstly, hydrodynamic coefficient models are introduced to evaluate the added mass and drag coefficients in a wide range of Reynolds numbers. An advanced hydrodynamic model is then proposed to calculate the drag force of cylinder in combined wave and current conditions. The proposed model is validated by the water tank tests in the current-only, wave-only and current-wave conditions and is used to investigate the effect of current on the dynamic response of FOWT. Finally, the full-scale semi-submersible platform used in the Fukushima demonstration project is investigated. It is found that the predicted dynamic responses of platform by the proposed hydrodynamic models are improved by the directional spreading function of the sea wave spectrum and show favorable agreement with the field measurement.
