Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of predicting the mechanical properties of helical winding structures, and more particularly to a method for rapidly predicting the elastic-plastic mechanical properties of one-dimensional periodic helical winding structures. BACKGROUND

[0002] One-dimensional periodic helical winding structures are widely used in marine engineering structures, such as umbilical cables, flexible risers, cryogenic pipelines, and wind power dynamic cables. Periodic helical winding design can provide structural flexibility while effectively dispersing and resisting environmental loads, thereby improving the fatigue resistance and tensile properties of the structure. The complex and harsh marine environment can cause one-dimensional periodic helical winding structures to enter a plastic state, and they have a large slenderness ratio, i.e., the axial length is much larger than the cross-sectional dimension, which poses a great challenge to their elastic-plastic analysis.

[0003] Existing theoretical models are based on assumptions and simplifications, such as ignoring interlayer slip and idealizing material behavior as linear elastic. These models do not consider the relative slip between layers in actual applications and the response of materials after entering the plastic state, which can result in unacceptable errors in predicting the structural response. In addition, although high-fidelity finite element analysis can better capture material nonlinearity, geometric nonlinearity, and boundary effects, it can improve the calculation accuracy of the elastic-plastic mechanical properties of one-dimensional periodic helical winding structures, but it often comes with a huge computational cost. Especially when optimization problems are involved, each analysis takes a lot of time, resulting in a long and even impossible optimization process.

[0004] The existing technology often faces the bottleneck of excessive calculation and insufficient accuracy when facing complex working conditions, and cannot meet the needs of efficient elastic-plastic analysis and optimization design. Therefore, it is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art to propose a method for rapidly predicting the elastic-plastic mechanical properties of one-dimensional periodic helical winding structures to solve the difficulties existing in the prior art.
