随着S型海管铺设逐步走向深水,管道在铺设过程中承受的荷载增加,发生一定程度的塑性变形。本文讨论S型铺设引起的残余塑性变形对管道屈曲承载能力的影响。首先基于壳单元建立"管道-托辊"相互作用的局部有限元模型,分析了管道在铺设过程中的受力状态,获得了管道的残余塑性变形。然后以该残余变形作为管道非线性屈曲分析的初始缺陷,基于改进的RIKS方法计算了管道的临界屈曲压力。研究结果表明,铺设残余塑性变形在一定程度上削弱管道的承载能力,在深水铺设中应予以考虑。

Study on the contact behavior of pipe and rollers in deep S-lay

S-lay is a widely used method for offshore pipe installation. In recent years, S-lay has gradually applied to the deepwater condition. Because of the increasing pipe weight in deep S-lay, there exist severe and complex contact problems between the overbend pipe and roller supports of the stinger. In deep S-lay design, it is difficult to solve this nonlinear mechanics problem, and there remain confusion and difficulties to predict the roller contact forces and the pipe strain level in S-lay design.The present paper develops a refined finite element model with the framework of ABAQUS, which considers the complex surface contact behaviors in the overbend section. The features of the contact state of different rollers within one roller box are discussed, and the resultant support forces from each roller box are calculated and compared with the commercial design code. The overbend strain level of five S-lay cases is investigated and the pipelaying safety is checked by DNV rules. The simulation results show that the proposed model can provide more accurate and reasonable predictions on roller forces and pipe strain distribution for deepwater S-lay design.     

Configuration analysis of deepwater S-lay pipeline

The safety of offshore pipeline has drawn a great deal of attention during deepwater installation due to the combined actions of high external pressure, axial tension, and bending moment. Meanwhile, the pipeline configuration has a remarkable effect on the structural behaviour of the tube. The special studies focus on the deepwater S-lay technique in the present paper. The stiffened catenary theory is applied to establish the static equilibrium governing differential equation of a pipe element, and the solution equations of the total pipeline configuration from a lay-barge over a stinger to the seabed are derived. The numerical iteration method for solving pipeline configuration is described in detail, and the corresponding program is developed to conduct the analysis of effects of various parameters such as laying water depth, pipe diameter, thickness of concrete weighted coating layer, stinger length, control strain, and axial tension on pipeline configuration. The results show that the laying water depth, the submerged weight of the pipe, and the axial tension are the critical factors influencing pipeline configuration. In addition, geometrical parameters of the stinger such as length, radius, and shape have an important effect on the pipe-laying capacity of the vessel. The validity of the program is further verified by means of a comparison with results obtained from the commercial finite element software OFFPIPE.

Feasible numerical method for analysis of offshore pipeline in installation

Feasible numerical method for a structural analysis of a pipeline configuration during the installation process is presented. The method considers the whole pipeline, which is partially suspended and partially laid-on a seabed, as a single continuous segment, and is valid for a complete range of laying angles between 0°–90°, i.e., valid for both S-lay and J-lay configurations. The method accounts for a pipeline–seabed interaction and the pipeline is modeled by means of nonlinear large deformation beam theory. The numerical solution is carried out in an incremental-iterative manner by following the actual pipeline installation process, and thus allowing efficient treatment of pipeline-seabed interaction circumventing the further complexities with contact detection. At each increment, the length of the pipeline is increased and new sequential equilibrium configuration is assessed by direct minimization of a total potential energy approximated as a Riemann sum, which yields algebraic system of nonlinear finite difference equations that is further solved by iterations with Newton-Raphson technique. The simplicity, flexibility and robustness of the proposed method allow to enhance the efficiency of engineering calculations and design. Accounting for a bending stiffness in a suspended part allows analyzing variations in laying angle and lay tension independently. The method convergence is validated and compared with Abaqus. The results are in an excellent agreement. Moreover, the comparison with Abaqus shows that for the selected parameters the assumption that the pipeline is inextensible and unshearable is very reasonable. Representative parametric study is conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the method. Parametric study considers the effects of laying angle (0°–90°), lay tension, laying water depth (up to 3000 m) and seabed stiffness.
