The intricacies of monitoring, and the particularity of welded joints, render the riser's girth welds present potential service hazards. Here, we propose a riser monitoring and fatigue evaluation method (RMFE), which uses the riser's reconstruction results with strains, to assess girth weld damage. By implementing the orthogonal strain sensors layout and applying a least-squares function, we not only achieve high-precision real-time riser shape reconstruction with high mean stress in global status, but also achieve the structural stress reconstruction of the girth weld at the element level. The research results show the riser's weld fatigue life by RMFE system, based on the “strain reconstruction”, aligns with the results from ABAQUS and FEM theory, with most errors within 3% and the maximum error not exceeding 16%. Furthermore, smaller mesh sizes in the RMFE system can reduce calculation errors but increase computation time. Importantly, the structural stress method, incorporated in the RMFE system, can thoroughly consider mean stress correction for weld fatigue, and eliminate subjective error in selecting the master S-N curve, which has been extended to three-dimensional space to better meet engineering needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19403,"journal":{"name":"Ocean Engineering","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 119848"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142722230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, a fifth-order Stokes surface gravity wave simulating Sea State 4 conditions is constructed based on the volume of fluid (VOF) method.

To mitigate the impact on these structures, a novel breakwater design is proposed, combining a floating structure anchored to a traditional submerged breakwater. Using a two-dimensional flume developed in OpenFOAM, simulations of freak waves and wave-structure interactions were conducted. The protective capabilities of the combined breakwater were assessed by analyzing the changes in force on the bridges, and the wave dissipation mechanisms were explored through wavelet transform results and flow field analysis. The study reveals that the combined breakwater effectively reduces wave loads compared to conventional submerged breakwaters, due to the conversion of high-frequency waves into low-frequency waves facilitated by the floating structure. This interaction, along with the submerged structure, enhances the overall stability and service life of the breakwater. The stability and load reduction performance are influenced by the initial draft and length-to-height ratio of the floating structure, with optimal performance achieved at specific configurations. The efficacy of the proposed breakwater is somewhat limited by long-period and highly nonlinear waves, while water depth has minimal impact.

Inappropriately transplant conditions can negatively impact coral growth, and may even lead to their demise. Given the inherently slow growth of corals, it is challenging to empirically or experimentally determine the optimal hydrological environment conditions involved in reef restoration. This study introduces a three-dimensional numerical wave flume to precisely simulate the complex interactions of artificial coral reefs with wave forces at various developmental stages. This study reveals that the efficacy of the wave-attenuating effect is heavily influenced by factors such as water depth and reef porosity. Shallow water depths notably enhance wave attenuation, stimulating coral growth by promoting dynamic water mixing. Coral reefs with porosity above 0.75 exhibit changes in transmission coefficient but have minor effects on coral-wave interactions. The optimal water depth for a successful transplant should range between 1.5 and 2.5 times the height of the reef platform. An optimal distribution of corals across the shelf, occupying 25–30% of the total volume, is crucial for effective transplantation.

Second, the Kalman filter and Hungarian algorithms are introduced to match ship positions in two consecutive sampling intervals. Third, the interaction between ship pairs is determined by integrating the relative distance, encounter angle, and encounter trend. Fourth, ship pairs are marked when the interaction exceeds a set threshold, and a traffic graph is constructed to evaluate traffic complexity using the Edge Density and Strength indicators.
