Floating production, storage and offloading systems (FPSOs) have been widely used for the development of offshore oil and gas fields because of their attractive features. They are mostly ship- shaped, either converted from existing tankers or purposely built, and the hull structural scantling design for tankers may be applicable to FPSOs. However, FPSOs have their unique characteristics. FPSOs are sited at specific locations with a dynamic loading that is quite different from those arising from unrestricted service conditions. The structures are to be assessed to satisfy the requirements of all in-service and pre-service loading conditions. The fundamental aspects in the structural assessment of FPSOs are the buckling and ultimate strength behaviors of the plate panels, stiffened panels and hull girders. The focus of this paper is to address the buckling and ultimate strength criteria for FPSO structures. Various aspects of the criteria have been widely investigated, and the results of the design formulae proposed in this paper have been compared to a very extensive test database and numerical results from nonlinear finite element analysis and other available methods. The procedures presented in this paper are based on the outcomes of a series of classification society projects in the development of buckling and ultimate strength criteria and referred to the corresponding classification society publications.

Geometrical Imperfections

The objective of the present study is to develop a new approach to model the initial geometrical imperfections of ship plates by using Photogrammetry. Based on images, Photogrammetry is able to take measurements of the distortions of plates and to catch the dominant surface shape, including the deformations of the edges. Having this data, it is possible to generate faithful models of plate surface based on third order polynomial functions. Finally, the maximum load- carrying capacity of the plates is analysed by performing a nonlinear finite element analysis using a commercial finite element code. Three un-stiffened and four stiffened plates have been modelled and analysed. For each plate, two initial imperfection models have been generated one, based on photogrammetric measurements and the other, based on the trigonometric Fourier functions. Both models are subjected to the same uniaxial compressive load and boundary conditions in order to study the ultimate strength.

Titanium alloys are widely used in naval ships due to its high strength, low density, no magnetism, corrosion resistance and so on. However, the material nonlinearity brings new challenges to the ultimate strength evaluation on the Titanium structure. This work is to evaluate the ultimate strength for a stiffened titanium cylinder with consideration of material nonlinearity by numerical analysis and scaled model experiment. Firstly, a series of titanium alloy stiffened cylinder pressure hulls are analyzed for their ultimate strength by non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM). Secondly, model tests are carried out for the above titanium cylinders to obtain their ultimate carrying capacity. Thirdly, the good agreement between experiment and numerical results verify that the numerical simulation method is suitable for ultimate strength evaluation. Finally, some influential factors on the ultimate capacity of the stiffened titanium cylinder are investigated, including stiffeners arrangement, thickness of cylinder hulls, inside diameter. The research work can map the limitations of the current rules and to support the development of ultimate strength assessment guidelines for titanium cylinder pressure hulls.

Rule Approach

In this paper, the hydroelastic motion and load responses of a large flexible ship sailing in irregular seaways are predicted and the hull girder ultimate strength is subsequently evaluated. A three-dimensional time-domain nonlinear hydroelasticity theory is developed where the included nonlinearities are those arising from incident wave force, hydrostatic restoring force and slamming loads. The hull girder structure is simplified as a slender Timoshenko beam and fully coupled with the hydrodynamic model in a time domain. Segmented model towing-tank tests are then conducted to validate the proposed hydroelasticity theory. In addition, short-term and long-term predictions of ship responses in irregular seaways are conducted with the help of the developed hydroelastic code in order to determine the extreme design loads. Finally, a simplified strength-check equation is proposed, which will provide significant reference and convenience for ship design and evaluation. The hull girder ultimate strength is assessed by both the improved Rule approach and direct calculation.
