TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship technology, in particular to a wave load direct prediction method for a crane ship. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of offshore oil and gas development and coastal and port engineering, the application of large crane ships is paid more and more attention. The single rotating support of the crane ship is connected with the ship body, and the influence of the cargo and the wave load needs to be considered during the hoisting process. Due to the arrangement characteristics and functions of the crane ship itself, the stress state of the structure of the crane ship is quite different from that of the conventional ship, and it is not reasonable to use the load formula of the ship classification society to calculate and check the structural strength of the crane ship. Therefore, the water dynamic method must be used to predict the motion response and structural load of the crane ship, so as to accurately analyze the structural strength of the crane ship.
[0003] The existing general wave load direct prediction method is based on three-dimensional potential flow theory and uses the three-dimensional panel method for water dynamic analysis. The purpose of water dynamic analysis is to study the stress and motion of the ship in the wave and evaluate the dynamic performance of the ship in the wave. Through water dynamic analysis, the pressure distribution of the wet surface of the ship body can be obtained, the motion of the ship in the wave and the wave load at any section can be obtained, and so on.
[0004] Current problems of water dynamic analysis:
[0005] 1. When the crane ship hoists the heavy object, the crane arm and the heavy object extend out of the ship body, and the mass matrix of the general water dynamic method for predicting the wave load of the ship body is cut off at the length of the ship body, and the mass outside the ship body is not considered to exist;
[0006] 2. The crane ship has a large mass outside the ship body, which cannot be ignored. If it is ignored, the overall mass matrix is incorrect, the ship motion solution is incorrect, and the subsequent wave load solution is meaningless;
[0007] 3. If the overall mass matrix includes the mass outside the ship body, the ship motion and the dynamic pressure of the wet surface of the ship body can be correctly solved. The general water dynamic method cannot take the sectional mass outside the ship length, and a large part of the inertial load is lost. In the calculation of the wave bending moment and shear force, the final result is that the seawater external load and the inertial force cannot be balanced, which leads to the result that the tail bending moment prediction result at the bow (tail) is obviously not zero, and the result is obviously incorrect.
[0008] 4. The frequency response function (RAO) result of the ship motion and load is incorrect, which also leads to the subsequent long-term and short-term prediction results being incorrect. SUMMARY

[0013] Step 2, obtaining virtual mass inertia moment of the weight on the crane by using the offset mass method;
[0014] Step 3, rewriting the mass matrix equation; first, removing the weight distribution beyond the ship length range, and adding the virtual weight of the weight at the single-point base connected with the ship body; the mass matrix at a certain section within the ship length range can be written as:
[0015]
[0016] wherein,
[0017]
[0018] Ma i is the point mass distributed within the ship length range, M is the virtual mass point, and m is the number of mass points distributed within the ship length range;
[0019] X ref =X pou -X G , wherein X pou is the X coordinate of the mass at a certain point of the section, and X G is the X coordinate of the center of gravity of the full ship;
[0020] Y ref =Y pou -Y G , wherein: Y pou is the Y coordinate of the mass at a certain point of the section, and Y G is the Y coordinate of the center of gravity of the full ship;
[0021] Z ref =Z pou -Z G , wherein: Z pou is the Z coordinate of the mass at a certain point of the section, and Z G is the Z coordinate of the center of gravity of the full ship;
[0022] wherein, I'45, I'56 and I'46 are small and can be ignored as 0;
[0023]
[0024]
[0025]
[0026] wherein: R' x is the distance from the center of gravity of the weight to the x-axis of the center of gravity of the whole ship, R' y is the distance from the center of gravity of the weight to the y-axis of the center of gravity of the whole ship, R' z is the distance from the center of gravity of the weight to the z-axis of the center of gravity of the whole ship;
[0027] Step 4, according to the rewritten mass matrix equation, the inertial internal load is obtained by calculating the hydrodynamic force, and the wave bending moment and wave shear force of the front section of the mass section and the frequency response function of the ship motion and load are calculated;
[0028] Step 5, according to the obtained frequency response function of the ship motion and load, the wave bending moment and the wave shear force, the response spectrum is obtained by setting the short-term sea state and the wave spectrum, and the spectrum analysis method is used to make short-term prediction on the response spectrum; and according to the probability distribution of each short-term sea state in the long service life, the long-term load extreme value prediction of the ship structure is obtained.
[0029] In step 1, the calculation formula of regular wave is:
[0030] ζ=ζ a cos(kx-ωt);
[0031] wherein: ζ is the wave surface elevation; ζ a is the wave amplitude; k is the wave number; ω is the circular frequency.
[0032] In step 1, the velocity potential of regular wave is:

[0036] In step 3, if the mass section does not contain the base fulcrum, the mass inertia moment of the mass section is not included in the mass inertia moment of the virtual mass point.
[0037] In Step 3, if the crane barge has multiple cranes, the mass matrix is rewritten according to the mass offset method, and then the wave load calculation is performed.
[0038] In Step 4, the hydrodynamic calculation uses the ship motion equation, and the formula of the ship motion equation is:
[0039]
[0040] Wherein:
[0041] M jk is the generalized mass matrix term, and the mass matrix is obtained in Step 2;

[0044] η k , are the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the kth degree of freedom motion, respectively.
[0045] In Step 4, the method for calculating the frequency response function of ship motion and load is as follows: within the complete frequency range of wave encounter frequency, 20-30 frequencies are taken, and several wave directions are selected within the entire wave direction range. For each wave direction and frequency combination, regular wave motion response calculation is performed, and the frequency response function of ship motion and load can be obtained.
[0046] In Step 4, the wave bending moment and wave shear force of the front section of the mass section can be obtained through the inertial force and fluid dynamics acting on the hull.
[0047] In Step 5, the relationship between the response spectrum S R (ω) and the wave spectrum S ζ (ω) is:
[0048] S R (ω) = RAO(ω) 2 · S ζ (ω).

[0052] The following preferred embodiment is described in detail below, and the present application is more clearly and completely illustrated in combination with the drawings.
[0053] A method for directly predicting the wave load of a crane ship, comprising the following steps.
[0054] Step 1, a hydrodynamic grid model is established, a mass model with full ship weight distribution is established, and the velocity potential is obtained under regular waves through analysis and calculation.
[0055] In step 1, the calculation formula of regular wave is:
[0056] ζ = ζ a cos(kx-ωt);
[0057] Wherein: ζ is the wave elevation; ζ a is the wave amplitude; k is the wave number; ω is the circular frequency.
[0058] In step 1, the velocity potential of regular wave is:
[0059]
[0060] wherein: g is the acceleration of gravity, z is the vertical position.
[0061] Step 2, the virtual mass inertia moment of the weight on the crane is obtained by the offset mass method.
[0062] In step 2, the offset mass method is specifically: the weight of the weight on the crane outside the ship side is offset to the single-point base where the crane is connected to the ship body, so that the weight is located within the ship length range; the virtual mass inertia moment of the weight on the ship center of gravity axis is calculated according to the static balance method, and is MR’. 2 wherein: M is the weight mass, R’ is the distance from the weight center of gravity to the ship center of gravity axis.
[0063] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the ship body 10 of the crane ship is provided with a crane 20, the crane 20 is connected to the ship body 10, and the weight 30 is outside the ship side. Since the weight M and the mass inertia moment of the weight 30 located outside the ship body need to be taken into account, first, the weight M of the weight 30 must be offset to the single-point base 11 where the crane is connected to the ship body, to form a weight 40, so that it is located within the ship length range, and the decomposition mass point height is consistent with the ship center of gravity height.
[0064] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the weight 40 at the single-point base 11 does not exist in the actual object, and only the weight 30 exists in the actual object. In order to show that the weight 30 is moved to the single-point base 11 in theory, the weight 30 and the weight 40 are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 .
[0065] Figure 2 In , M is the weight mass, R’ is the distance from the weight center of gravity to the ship center of gravity axis, R is the vertical distance from the weight center of gravity to the ship center of gravity axis, and r is the force arm from the base to the ship center of gravity.
[0066] Step 3, rewrite the mass matrix equation. Because the virtual mass is added to the weight distribution of the whole ship, the weight distribution of the whole ship is rewritten. First, remove the weight distribution outside the ship length range, and add the virtual weight of the weight at the single-point base connected to the ship body; the mass matrix at a certain section within the ship length range can be written as:
[0067]
[0068] wherein,
[0069]
[0070] Ma iM is the virtual mass point, m is the number of mass points distributed along the length of the ship;
[0071] X ref = X pou - X G , wherein X pou is the X coordinate of the mass point of the section, X G is the X coordinate of the center of gravity of the whole ship;
[0072] Y ref = Y pou - Y G , wherein Y pou is the Y coordinate of the mass point of the section, Y G is the Y coordinate of the center of gravity of the whole ship;
[0073] Z ref = Z pou - Z G , wherein Z pou is the Z coordinate of the mass point of the section, Z G is the Z coordinate of the center of gravity of the whole ship;
[0074] wherein I'45, I'56 and I'46 are small and can be ignored as 0;
[0075] The actual hoisted weight generates a mass inertia moment I'55 for the center of gravity of the whole ship, which should be MR ’2 The decomposition mass inertia moment generated by the general hydrodynamic software is Mr 2 Therefore, if the mass offset method is applied, the mass moment matrix generated by the general hydrodynamic software is inconsistent with the mass inertia moment generated by the actual weight, which is wrong and must be modified I'44, I'55 and I'66. For example, the vertical wave bending moment, which we are most concerned about, needs to modify I'55, directly modify the increase of the mass inertia moment of the virtual mass point section to MR'2, from the stern to the bow, and keep the total mass inertia moment generated by the weight outside the ship and the mass inertia moment generated by the virtual decomposition mass equal at the last integrated bow section position.
[0076] Therefore, the mass inertia moment along a mass section of the length of the ship (such as containing the base support point) should be:
[0077]
[0078]
[0079]
[0080] wherein R' x is the distance from the center of gravity of the weight to the x-axis of the center of gravity of the whole ship, R' yR' is the distance from the center of gravity of the weight to the y-axis of the center of gravity of the whole ship. z R" is the distance from the center of gravity of the weight to the z-axis of the center of gravity of the whole ship.
[0081] If the mass section does not contain the base fulcrum, the mass moment of inertia of the mass section is not included in the mass moment of inertia of the virtual mass point.
[0082] If the crane ship has multiple crane hoists, the mass matrix is rewritten according to the mass offset method, and then the wave load calculation is performed.
[0083]
[0084]
[0085]
[0086]
[0087] wherein: Mi is a virtual mass point, n is the number of crane hoists. The mass and mass moment of inertia of the virtual mass point are included according to the range where the mass section is located.
[0088] Step 4, according to the rewritten mass matrix equation, the inertial internal load is obtained by calculating the hydrodynamic force, and the 6-degree-of-freedom balance equation is obtained together with the external load of the sea water dynamic pressure, and the wave bending moment and wave shear force of the front section of the mass section and the frequency response function of the ship motion and load are calculated.
[0089] In step 4, the ship motion equation is used for hydrodynamic force calculation, and the formula of the ship motion equation is:
[0090]
[0091] wherein:
[0092] M jk is a generalized mass matrix term, and M is the mass matrix obtained in step 2;
[0093] A jk ,B jk ,C jk are respectively the additional mass coefficient, the damping coefficient and the restoring force coefficient of the jth degree of freedom caused by the motion of the kth degree of freedom, collectively referred to as hydrodynamic coefficients;
[0094] F j is the wave force on the ship body in the jth degree of freedom direction;
[0095] η k , are respectively the displacement, velocity and acceleration of the motion of the kth degree of freedom.
[0096] In step 4, the method for calculating the frequency response function of ship motion and load is as follows: 20-30 frequencies are taken in the complete frequency range of wave encounter frequency, several wave directions are selected in the whole wave direction range, for each wave direction and frequency combination, regular wave motion response calculation is carried out, and the frequency response function of ship motion and load can be obtained.
[0097] In step 4, the wave bending moment and wave shear force of the front section of the mass section can be obtained through the inertial force and fluid power acting on the ship body.
[0098] In step 5, according to the obtained frequency response function of ship motion and load, wave bending moment and wave shear force, response spectrum is obtained by setting short-term sea conditions and wave spectrum, and spectrum analysis method is used to carry out short-term prediction on the response spectrum; and according to the probability distribution of each short-term sea condition in the long service life, long-term load extreme value prediction of the ship body structure is obtained.
[0099] In step 5, the relationship between the response spectrum S R (ω) and the wave spectrum S ζ (ω) is as follows:
[0100] S R (ω) = RAO(ω) 2 · S ζ (ω).
[0101] The method of the application establishes a hydrodynamic grid model and a mass model with full ship weight distribution, obtains the velocity potential under regular waves through three-dimensional diffraction and radiation analysis calculation, and obtains the wave bending moment and shear force by solving the motion equation and dynamic balance equation.
[0102] The important innovation point of the method of the application is that the offset mass method is adopted to rewrite the mass matrix equation and solve the dynamic balance calculation.
[0103] The application simulates the weight of the lifted heavy object at the single-point support of the Kranen crane, simulates the full ship mass matrix along the ship length after distribution, and ensures the balance between the seawater external load and the inertial force internal load when calculating the wave bending moment and shear force.
[0104] The application adopts the mass offset method, which offsets the ship weight to be within the ship length range, rewrites the segmented mass matrix along the ship length of the general hydrodynamic method, unifies the total mass matrix and the segmented mass matrix, overcomes the limitation that the general hydrodynamic program cannot be applied to the wave load prediction of the crane ship, and has great application and promotion value.
[0105] The present application solves the problem that the existing hydrodynamic method cannot obtain the correct wave load of the crane ship, and successfully obtains the correct wave load of the crane ship.
