浮式生产装置上部生产模块非管节点疲劳研究

Fatigue investigation on non-tubular joints for FPU topsides module

  • 摘要: 海上浮式生产装置(floating production unit, FPU)上部生产模块结构中包含着大量的非管节点,而此类节点在其服役期内易发生疲劳失效。相较于一般管节点,非管节点结构型式更为复杂,其疲劳评估更为困难,通常无法利用海工结构设计软件进行直接计算分析。为了实现非管节点疲劳寿命快速计算,该文采用S-N曲线法与整体结构分析和局部有限元分析相结合的方法,对非管节点的疲劳进行了研究,并形成了一套FPU上部生产模块非管节点疲劳预测方法。基于FPU上部三甘醇(triethylene glycol, TEG)处理模块设计实例,采用上述方法对其疲劳寿命进行评估,验证了该计算方法的适用性。结果显示,在考虑安全系数的情况下,TEG模块非管节点的最小疲劳寿命为20.11年,满足设计规范要求。该模块通过了美国船级社(American Bureau of Shipping, ABS)审查,完成陆地建造和交付,并成功应用于印尼马杜拉海域,证明了该非管节点疲劳预测方法的可靠性,相关研究结论可为类似非管节点结构的疲劳分析提供借鉴。

     

    Abstract: The topside module structure of offshore floating production unit (FPU) contains a large amount of non-tubular joints, which are prone to fatigue damage during its service life. The structure of non-tubular joints is more complex comparing with tubular joints. Its fatigue assessment is complicated, and cannot be carried out by commercial offshore structure analysis software directly. In order to get the fast assessment of non-tubular joints fatigue life, in this paper, based on S-N curves approach combined with global structure analysis and local finite element analysis, a fatigue investigation on non-tubular joints was performed. A fatigue prediction method of FPU topside module non-tubular joints was then developed. Based on the design case of an FPU upper triethylene glycol (TEG) processing module, the fatigue life of non-tubular joints was evaluated with the proposed method, verifying its applicability. Results indicate that under consideration of safety factors, the minimum fatigue life of non-tubular joints in the TEG module is 20.11 years, meeting design specification requirements. The module has passed review by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), completed land-based construction and delivery, and has been successfully deployed in the Madura Sea, Indonesia, which proved the reliability of the fatigue investigation method for non-tubular joints. The relevant research conclusions can provide reference for fatigue analysis of similar non-tubular joints.
