hydrodynamic damped pitch motion of tension leg platforms
Authors
abstract
because of fluctuation in leg tension, pitch motion is very effective fatigue and life safety of leg elements in tension leg structures (tlss). in this paper an exact solution for pitch vibration of a tls interacting with ocean wave is presented. the legs of tlp are considered as elastic springs. the flow is assumed to be irrotational and single-valued velocity potentials are defined. the effects of radiation and scattering are considered in the boundary value problem. because of linear behavior of legs during wave excitation, ignoring coupling effects with other degrees of freedom, the analytical solution of pitch response has good agreement with the real behavior of the structure.

However it is possible to use of numerical methods such as beta-Newmark in order to investigate the structural response behavior of the dynamic systems under random sea wave loads but because of necessity to analysis the offshore systems for extensive time to fatigue study it is important to use of simple stable methods for numerical integration. The modified Euler method (MEM) is a simple nume...
full textEffect of Tethers Tension Force in the Behavior of a Tension Leg Platform Subjected to Hydrodynamic Force
The tension leg platform (TLP) is one of the compliant structures which are generally used for deep water oil exploration. With respect to the horizontal degrees of freedom, it behaves like a floating structure moored by vertical tethers which are pretension due to the excess buoyancy of the platform, whereas with respect to the vertical degrees of freedom, it is stiff and resembles a fixed str...

A disturbance accommodating controller (DAC) to reject wind speed perturbations is applied on a 5MW wind turbine mounted on a tension leg platform (TLP). Multi-blade coordinate (MBC) transformation is used to address the periodicity of the floating wind turbine system. A method to apply DAC after applying MBC transformation is developed and several implementation options are presented. Simulati...

The dynamic behavior of tension leg platforms (TLPs) under the simultaneous action of random wind and wave fields is investigated in this study. Computationally efficient time and frequency domain analysis procedures are developed to analyze wind-wavecurrent-structure interaction problems. The aerodynamic load effects are described by the space-time description of the random wind field. The hyd...
full textDynamic behaviour of square and triangular offshore tension leg platforms under regular wave loads
Among compliant platforms, the tension leg platform (TLP) is a hybrid structure. With respect to the horizontal degrees of freedom, it is compliant and behaves like to a floating structure, whereas with respect to the vertical degrees of freedom, it is stiff and resembles a fixed structure and is not allowed to float freely. The greatest potential for reducing costs of a TLP in the short term i...
