Nonlinear dynamics of an elastic cable during laying operations in rough sea

A numerical approach for predicting motion and tension of extensible marine cables during laying operations in a rough sea is presented here. The solution methodology consists of dividing the cable into straight elements, which must satisfy an equilibrium equation and compatibility relations. The system of nonlinear differential equations is solved by the Runge–Kutta method, taking the effect of regular and/or irregular waves into account explicitly.

Illustrative applications of the method are given for a typical cable laying ship. The results are presented as rms values of the cable dynamic tension and corresponding dynamic factor for two different types of cable and several values of cable stiffness. The effect of axial deformation on the maximum tension at the shipboard pulley location is highlighted.

渔业活动对东海海域海底光缆安全的影响

通过对东海海域海底光缆路由区作业渔场的捕捞方式、作业范围等的分析,结合已建海底光缆故障的调查结果,探讨了渔业活动对东海海域海底光缆路由调查和已建海底光缆安全的影响。结果表明,东海海域海底光缆主要穿越了长江口、江外、舟山、舟外、鱼外等5大主要作业渔场,各渔场的渔业活动频繁,拖网、张网和流刺网等不同捕捞作业方式集中,对海底光缆的安全带来严重威胁。同时,捕捞渔船船只的数量逐年增多、触底深度的不断增加、作业时间的不断延长,使海底光缆路由调查时所获得调查资料的质量受到严重影响,船只、渔具的日益大型化以及拖网、张网、围网等捕捞活动范围的持续扩大,更使得海底光缆的故障频繁发生。为保护海缆的安全,在目前的经济技术条件下,建议选择休渔期时进行路由调查,在捕捞活动的频繁区,选择双层铠装型(DA)的海底光缆,并适当加大埋设深度,以降低渔业活动对海底光缆工程的影响。实践表明,将海底光缆埋设深度增加至3.0 m以上,可有效地保护海底光缆的安全。

A tension measurement method of a towing cable or a buoy cable

An indirect tension measurement method of a towing cable in midwater or a buoy cable is proposed using underwater acoustic positioning systems, etc., to give the in-water cable tension. The most simple and traditional cable tension measurement method is to apply a mechanical tension meter at the one end of the cable, but the method has limits in the aspects of continuous monitoring and manual operation. However, the technique in this study is to apply the Pode's analysis of the equilibrium configuration and tension of a flexible twine, in which the cable tension is given as a function of the geometric positions of both ends of the cable. A set of nonlinear integral equations is formulated and solved numerically by the Newton-Raphson method. Then the inclination angles and the tensions at the lower and the upper ends of the cable could be obtained. The derived method enables us to track a towed object, to measure the tension of a towing cable or a buoy cable and is also applicable to the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) tethered to a mother ship.

Damage assessment for submarine photoelectric composite cable under anchor impact

The impact of dropped anchor on submarine photoelectric composite cables may possibly cause electrical faults, i.e. electricity and optical signal transmission failure. In order to study the impact capacity and structural impact failure mechanism, a test setup is designed originally to examine the structural and functional integrity. A detailed finite element model (FEM) is created, considering material nonlinearity and component interaction. A parametric analysis has been performed to predict the deformation of components and impact forces, under different impact velocities and collision directions. Relationships between the armor layer indentation rate and that of internal power and optical units are achieved. The impact deformation of internal entities can be evaluated intuitively by armor layer indentation. The proposed experimental and numerical methods are well correlated, suitable to assess the impact capacity of subsea power cables and assist the protection design of subsea power cables in engineering.

悬跨海底电缆作为细长柔性结构,在静力平衡状态下具有一定的垂度,在水流作用下的涡激振动特性与海底管线和海洋立管等结构也有很大的不同,其振动模态受垂跨比影响很大。通过物理模型试验开展了不同垂跨比下悬跨海缆的涡激振动和疲劳损伤特性研究。试验模型按照水弹性相似准则设计,试验中测量了不同流速下海缆模型产生涡激振动时的应变历时数据,采用模态分析法获得了模型涡激振动时的振动模态和振幅。分析了不同流速下海缆模型的振动模态、应变和疲劳损伤的变化和分布特征。试验结果表明：垂跨比显著影响了海缆的涡激振动模态和应变幅值大小。在本试验流速范围内,对一定长度的悬跨海缆模型,当垂跨比较大时,随着流速的增大,模型涡激振动的主响应振动依次出现反对称1阶和对称1阶模态;当垂跨比较小时,模型涡激振动的主响应模态依次出现反对称1阶和对称2阶模态。当涡激振动主响应模态为反对称1阶时,疲劳损伤最大值达到0. 1~0.7。

Life evaluation of a 35-kV submarine power cable in a continuous flexing environment

This paper describes the life testing of a 35-kV power cable that will connect a single anchor leg mooring (SALM) buoy with a platform in several hundred feet of water. While there are many power cable installations to offshore platforms and between platforms, this system is unique because the cable will be constantly flexing in compression as the mooring buoy moves in the water. The buoy design includes an articulated leg with universal joints to which the cable is clamped. It is the loop in the cable where it crosses a universal joint that is flexed, and is a major cause of concern. To predict the effects of this constant flexure while energized, a flex simulator and electrical circuit were devised to duplicate the service environment as closely as possible. This paper describes the cable system, the test apparatus and procedure, and the results obtained.     

深海采矿车布放回收中脐带缆轴向张力响应特性研究

在深海采矿车布放回收中,准确预报脐带缆在底部自由悬垂边界条件和顶部波浪载荷随机激励等共同影响下的动力响应是关键点之一。基于三维势流理论与集中质量法,结合水面支持船运动和海流联合激励,对深海布放回收中脐带缆的顶端张力等力学特性进行研究。结果表明：在布放回收过程中,轴向张力在结构载荷中占主要成分;由波浪引起的轴向张力极值与均值差距最大可达到54%;轴向张力的频谱存在双谱峰,分别为 0.14 Hz的主峰和0.10 Hz 的次峰;当浪向角为180°时,轴向张力处于峰谷。     

海底管线维护中底床表层稳定粗化层的构建

以东方岸外海域为例,计算了极端天气下不同水深条件构建稳定粗化层抛石颗粒的临界粒径;分析了影响粗化层稳定的不同因素,并对人工抛石构建粗化层提出建议。结果显示,在东方岸外30m和60 m水深处,沉积物的中值泥沙粒径至少为30.33 mm和3.99 mm,才能抵御极端浪流的冲刷,且抛石层的厚度应至少为80.9mm和10.8mm,抛石层至少覆盖原始床沙的70%。粗化层的稳定性受颗粒隐蔽暴露效应、砂组分百分比、粗化层颗粒级配、覆盖厚度及覆盖百分比的共同影响,而抛石构建稳定粗化层的实质是对抛石粒径的合理选取及对细粒组分百分比的有效控制。另外,抛石级配的合理选择应受到重视,在施工过程中则需保证覆盖百分数和粗化层的覆盖厚度。粗细混合投放或者分层投放有利于更好地构建稳定粗化层。以上述方法构建稳定粗化层可为海底管道工程设施的维护提供有效支持。
