By analyzing the phase difference between the wake vortex force and the displacement under different mass parameters in flow-induced vibration (FIV), the study reveals that the influence of wake vortex on the cylinder varies significantly in different vibration branches. The wake vortex of the initial branch enhances the cylinder's vibration, whereas the wake vortices of the upper, lower, and desynchronized branches suppress the vibration. At the critical point between the initial branch and the upper branch of vortex induced vibration (VIV), there is a 90° phase jump, and the instantaneous phase difference fluctuation between the wake vortex force and displacement of the VIV branch remains relatively constant. In the galloping branch, there are wake vortices in different directions that affect the cylinder's vibration every quarter of the vibration period, and the phase difference undergoes periodic large fluctuations (either in-phase or out-of-phase), with the result that the wake vortex force periodically promotes or restrain the cylinder's vibration, which can serve as a novel criterion for identifying the occurrence of galloping. Furthermore, when varying the mass parameters at a constant reduced velocity, the impact of the wake vortex in the initial branch is relatively insignificant. However, as the mass ratio increases in other vibration branches, the suppressive effect increases, and the wake vortex force can prevent VIV induced galloping phenomenon by affecting the vibration intensity.","PeriodicalId":509714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140232003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no single kernel function can be universally applied to all nonparametric models of ship maneuvering motion, which may compromise the robustness of GPR. To address this issue, an adaptive ensemble of multi-kernel GPRs based on heuristic model screening (AEGPR-HMS) is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, four kernel functions are involved in constructing the ensemble model. The HMS method is introduced to determine the weights of individual-based GPR models, which can be adaptively assigned according to the baseline GPR model. To determine the hyper-parameters of these kernel functions, the genetic algorithm is also employed to compute the optimal values. The KVLCC2 tanker provided by the SIMMAN 2008 workshop is used to validate the performance of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the AEGPR-HMS is an efficient and robust method for nonparametric modeling of ship maneuvering motion.","PeriodicalId":509714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140425304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental breakage test results evidenced that the effects of mean tension, pitting corrosion and surface roughness may influence the fatigue strength of chain links. A recently-developed methodology here denoted as Corrosion Grade considers the effects of mean tension and local corrosion through a visual assessment of the chain. The present work proposes a parametric correction factor to be used in the current S-N fatigue design methodology for considering local corrosion in studless chains. The parametric model is developed by means of finite element-based modeling of various pit shapes in the chain. The correction factor is fitted as a function of the pit aspect ratio. The proposed correction factor is combined with the Corrosion Grade methodology to obtain a final formula that considers the mean tension and the local corrosion. Results from both Corrosion Grade and the proposed correction factor are compared in three corroded experimental test samples. The proposed correction factor is capable of estimating the fatigue life of the corroded components analyzed with conservatism.","PeriodicalId":509714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140427789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simplified nature of these models often fails to describe complex behaviour of the fluid force, in particular when the drill-string movement is non-trivial or even when non-Newtonian behaviour is predominant. In this work, the fluid forces are estimated by modelling the dynamic of the drilling fluid for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, and compared with reduced order models. To achieve it, the lattice Boltzmann method is implemented to solve the fluid model, while prescribed movements are set for the tool-joint. With the obtained fields, the forces are calculated and compared with recurrent models. Finally, it is observed that some models are capable of describing the interaction as long as the dynamic of the tool-joint is simple.

The determination of horizontal and vertical load components hinges upon factors such as inclined loading angle and the padeye position, significantly influencing its failure mechanism. This study undertook a series of geotechnical centrifuge tests to scrutinize the behavior of suction anchor under lateral loading. Precise measurements were taken for variables including the pore pressure at the anchor tip, soil pressure along the anchor, anchor capacity, as well as the displacement and rotation around X, Y, and Z axes. The anchor failure mechanisms and interaction coefficients within a dissipation function were determined from the experimental results. The failure angle β serves as an indicator of anchor rotation in the translational failure mechanism, and αr describes anchor rotation in backward and forward movements. Under the inclined loading angle (θm) of 35°, the anchor failed in translational mechanism, with its ultimate bearing capacity surpassing that of the anchor failing through backward and forward mechanisms. Upon elevating the padeye location moved upward to 4L/7 to 2L/3, the anchor failed in a forward mechanism, accompanied by a significant decrease in soil pressure in the passive side. This separation of the soil plug from the anchor, driven by accumulated displacement and rotation, resulted in 25% decrease in ultimate bearing capacity. Conversely, when the inclined loading reduced from 35° to 20° at padeye location, the anchor failed in a backward mechanism, with no observed separation of the soil plug from the anchor.","PeriodicalId":509714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140485622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, based on the three-dimensional potential flow theory, this paper uses the hydrodynamic software AQWA to numerically simulate the dynamic response of the traditional mooring system under the coupling of wind, wave, and current in different sea states. Subsequently, a shore-based constant tension mooring system using the principle of volume-varying hydraulic control was studied. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the working principle of the constant tension hydraulic control mooring system, a mathematical model of the main working circuit is established. The system was numerically simulated by relying on MATLAB/simulink simulation software. Finally, by comparing with traditional mooring systems, the results show that the maximum cable tension of the shore-based constant-tension mooring system is significantly reduced, so that the tension is controlled within a fixed range, and the safety factor of the mooring cable is significantly improved, thus reducing the risk of mooring system failure and improving the ship's survivability.","PeriodicalId":509714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140483186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the effect of lipwalls for a shore-front OWC is investigated using Dual Boundary Equation Method (DBEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approaches. The boundary value problem is solved using the DBEM method within the framework of linear water wave theory. Whilst in the CFD approach, the volume of fluid (VOF) approach is used for simulating the numerical wave tank, with appropriate boundary conditions and regular wave inlet. The DBEM approach is beneficial to understand the complex phenomena inside the chamber viz. radiation conductance and susceptance. It is inferred that case-B is found to exhibit better performance for a wider range of non-dimensional wave frequencies due to its wave trapping configuration where the position of the lower lipwall is orthogonal. The CFD studies provide interesting insights on the optimal damping ratio concerning wave amplification factor at higher relative water depths, power output, and correlation of phase difference. Besides, the study reveals that the pressure and wave elevation inside the chamber is associated with the inhalation and exhalation process of air is attributed to the lower half of the lipwall.","PeriodicalId":509714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140481670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
