Analysis of the fatigue strength of the anchor mooring system of floating single-point moorings by methods of full-probability mathematical modeling
Abstract
The article deals with the methodology for the performance of fatigue analysis of Floating Single-Point Moorings (FSPM), using full-probability mathematical simulation methods. Under consideration are problems of developing a full-probability mathematical simulation scheme using data on wind/wave conditions in seas surrounding the Russian Federation available in Handbooks issued by the Register of Shipping (RS). Approaches to mathematical simulation of the behavior of the mechanical system "tanker/buoy/submarine hoses with an auxiliary buoyancy tank — the anchor mooring system" in all steady modes covered by the full-probability scheme, are described. A general methodology is presented for fatigue analysis of anchor legs, based on the numerical simulation of the behavior of FSPM in various operating modes, as exposed to different combinations of irregular environmental actions typical for long-term periods associated with the life cycle of FSPM. Some data on the practical application of the proposed methodology are given.
