Abstract: |
Based on the structural characteristics of touchdown points of steel catenary risers,a linear truncation model considering pipe-soil separation and a cap model containing soil suction effect are used to describe P-y curves.The dynamic response and fatigue damage characteristics at the touch down point of the riser were analyzed by changing the floating body heaving motion amplitude,the soil suction factor and the seabed stiffness.The results indicated that the vertical displacement,bending moment,equivalent stress and the fatigue damage at the touchdown point increased with the increase of floating body heaving motion amplitude.With the increase of the soil suction factor,the vertical displacement response of the steel catenary riser at touchdown points changed from the high-amplitude low-frequency response to low-amplitude high-frequency response.With the increase of the seabed stiffness,the fatigue damage of the steel catenary riser at touchdown points showed stable characteristics at first and then increased and finally became stable again. |
