Abstract
A two-dimensional (2D) simplified model of the very large floating structure (VLFS) is formulated based on Huston's interpretation of the Kane methodology. In this proposed model, the VLFS is considered as a serial of discrete floating bodies connected by elastic hinges. The rotation stiffness of elastic hinges has a great influence on the dynamic responses of VLFS and its value is determined based on the vertical displacements equivalent between the simply supported beam model and the elastically hinged multiple bodies model with the same boundary conditions on a concentrated load. Reduced Kane equations are used in the actual dynamic analysis, once initial conditions and mechanical analysis of system have been formulated. Validation of the Kane-based method and the reliability of corresponding program developed are established by several comparative study on a continuous structure and a hinged structure with three parts. The predictions based on the proposed method are essentially identical to the model test data and calculation results provided by related literatures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering is an international resource for original peer-reviewed research that advances the state of knowledge on all aspects of analysis, design, and technology development in ocean, offshore, arctic, and related fields. Its main goals are to provide a forum for timely and in-depth exchanges of scientific and technical information among researchers and engineers. It emphasizes fundamental research and development studies as well as review articles that offer either retrospective perspectives on well-established topics or exposures to innovative or novel developments. Case histories are not encouraged. The journal also documents significant developments in related fields and major accomplishments of renowned scientists by programming themed issues to record such events.
