Appropriate modeling of the riser-soil resistance in the touchdown zone can lead to significant cost reduction by optimizing design. This paper presents a plasticity model that can be applied to numerically simulate riser-soil interaction and evaluate dynamic responses and the fatigue damage of a steel catenary riser in the touchdown zone. Utilizing the model, numerous riser-soil elements are attached to the steel catenary riser finite elements, in which each simulates local foundation restraint along the riser touchdown zone. The riser-soil interaction plasticity model accounts for the behavior within an allowable combined loading surface. The model will be represented in this paper, allowing simple numerical implementation. More importantly, it can be incorporated within the structural analysis of a steel catenary riser with the finite element method. The applicability of the model is interpreted theoretically and the results are shown through application to an offshore 8.625 steel catenary riser example. The fatigue analysis results of the liner elastic riser-soil model are also shown. According to the comparison results of the two models, the fatigue life analysis results of the plasticity framework are reasonable and the horizontal effects of the riser-soil interaction can be included.展开更多

Only underthe condition that those conflicting issues are gotten a consensus between stakeholders with different knowledgebackground, can nuclear power industry be continuingly developed. In this paper, a new analysis platform has beendeveloped to help stakeholders to recognize and analyze various socio-technical issues in the nuclear fuel cycle systembased on the functional modeling method named Multilevel Flow Models (MFM) according to the cognition theoryof human being. Its character is that MFM models define a set of mass, energy and information flow structures onmultiple levels of abstraction to describe the functional structure of a process system and its graphical symbol representationand the means-end and part-whole hierarchical flow structure to make the represented process easy to beunderstood. Based upon this methodology, a micro-process and a macro-process of nuclear fuel cycle system wereselected to be simulated and some analysis processes such as economics analysis, environmental analysis and energybalance analysis related to those flows were also integrated to help stakeholders to understand the process of decision-making with the introduction of some new functions for the improved Multilevel Flow Models Studio, and finallythe simple simulation such as spent fuel management process simulation and money flow of nuclear fuel cycleand its levelised cost analysis will be represented as feasible examples.展开更多

Existing approaches for addressing long-term extreme responses are extremely cumbersome for adoption. This work aims to develop an approach for the long-term extreme-response analysis of floating structures. A modified gradient-based retrieval algorithm in conjunction with the inverse first-order reliability method(IFORM) is proposed to enable the use of convolution models in long-term extreme analysis of structures with an analytical formula of response amplitude operator(RAO). The proposed algorithm ensures convergence stability and iteration accuracy and exhibits a higher computational efficiency than the traditional backtracking method. However, when the RAO of general offshore structures cannot be analytically expressed, the convolutional integration method fails to function properly. A numerical discretization approach is further proposed for offshore structures in the case when the analytical expression of the RAO is not feasible. Through iterative discretization of environmental contours(ECs) and RAOs, a detailed procedure is proposed to calculate the long-term response extremes of offshore structures. The validity and accuracy of the proposed approach are tested using a floating offshore wind turbine as a numerical example. The long-term extreme heave responses of various return periods are calculated via the IFORM in conjunction with a numerical discretization approach. The environmental data corresponding to N-year structural responses are located inside the ECs, which indicates that the selection of design points directly along the ECs yields conservative design results.展开更多

The Kriging approximate model with updating is introduced to reduce the computational cost of MDF caused by the complex structure. The computational efficiency is remarkably improved as the lack of iterative process during reliability analysis. Special attention is paid to a turbine blade design optimization by adopting the proposed method. Results show that the method is much more efficient than the commonly used double-loop based RBMDO method. It is feasible and efficient to apply the method to the engineering design.展开更多

文摘近年来,复合材料层合板结构被广泛地应用于航空航天、军工、建筑工程等领域。但是,由于其几何尺寸的不准确性、材料参数的分散性、载荷环境的波动性等不确定性因素的影响,可能会对复合材料层合板结构的可靠性和安全性,以及系统的输出响应产生重大影响。由于复合材料层合板的层间黏结不良、外部应力集中等因素,当复合材料层合板结构的能量释放速率达到层间断裂韧性时,就会发生分层。因此对复合材料层合板结构的分层可靠性进行分析具有重要的意义。目前,对于复合材料层合板结构的可靠性分析主要是采用一阶可靠性方法(first order reliability method,FORM)、二阶可靠性方法(second order reliability method,SORM)和重要性抽样方法(importance sampling,IS)等传统可靠性分析方法,并将其和蒙特卡罗模拟(Monte Carlo simulation,MCS)对比。但是,当复合材料结构不确定性维度高且复杂时,这些方法不仅计算效率太低,而且不能保证其计算精度。相比于传统的可靠性分析方法,可以利用基于自适应Kriging模型集成策略和主动学习函数结合蒙特卡罗模拟(adaptive Kriging-based Monte Carlo simulation,AK-MCS)的方法,对复合材料层合板结构进行可靠性分析。而直接概率积分方法(direct probability integral method,DPIM)具有更高的计算效率和精度,特别是对于高维度和复杂的可靠性分析问题。所以,本文采用AK-MCS方法和DPIM对模式Ⅰ、模式Ⅱ和混合Ⅰ/Ⅱ模式下的复合材料层合板结构分层的可靠度进行了研究。结果表明:DPIM和AK-MCS与传统可靠性分析方法相比具有更高的计算精度和计算效率,但是DPIM以其高效的计算效率脱颖而出,尽管其精度略低于AK-MCS,但在处理随机变量更多、非线性程度更高的混合Ⅰ/Ⅱ模式下的层合板结构分层的可靠性时展现出明显优势。综合考虑精度与时效性的平衡,DPIM能够准确地评估复合材料结构的可靠度,保障其在航天航空装备等领域的安全运行。
