This study uses finite element limit analysis (FELA) to investigate suction caisson behavior in one- and two-layered cohesionless soils from the Bohai Sea under purely vertical and combined loading. A key innovation is the introduction of a simplified method to analyze ultimate vertical bearing capacity, employing a theoretical retaining wall model that aligns closely with FELA results. The effective interface frictional angle is proposed as a parameter for assessing caisson performance under lateral loads and moments. The research also explores failure modes and combined load yield surfaces, considering soil layer thickness. The research indicates that as the internal friction angle of soils rises, the critical rupture angle for the active sliding body progressively increases, leading to the mobilization of deeper soil layers. The failure mode of suction caissons under lateral loading remains consistent, while moment loading results in deep rotational failure. Additionally, the study confirms the accuracy of existing elliptical equations in describing failure envelopes and introduces new findings on the influence of soil layer thickness on eccentricity parameters and failure envelope characteristics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8261,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ocean Research","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 104464"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143395546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an extension of the method to deal with the time-domain synthesis of frequency-domain responses of floating bodies, which can be calculated offline with a linear seakeeping solver. The frequency-domain responses are mapped from frequency/direction space to wavenumber space in order to match the same wave components used by the synthesis of the ocean surface, and they are transformed into time-domain responses by means of Inverse Discrete Fourier Transforms. Given the large number of elementary wave components required for a realistic visualization of the ocean surface, the synthesis of dynamic responses becomes computationally expensive and was implemented on GPUs relying on parallel reduction algorithms to speed up the summations. The performance of the GPU implementation was investigated, showing how the present method can synthesize multiple dynamic responses in real-time even when dealing with many elementary wave components. The physical accuracy of the technique proposed in the paper was assessed by simulating a virtual wave measurement buoy: the frequency-domain responses of the buoy were calculated with a linear seakeeping solver and then synthesized according to the proposed method.

A sailboat movement model is developed using a velocity prediction program. With dynamic rewards assigned to map grids based on wind direction, trajectory, and obstacles, the sailboat selects the grid with the highest reward among the available options for its next move. In cases of deadlock, a Breadth-First Search algorithm identifies the nearest uncovered node, and an improved artificial potential field method is employed to navigate to that node. Key strategies, including occupying the relatively most upwind position and disabling movement directions based on the sailed path, effectively minimize overlap and enhance the trackability of the path.
