[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a strength assessment method for a marine tower, and the strength assessment method for a marine tower comprises:
[0051] In step S11, the physical dimension data of the tower and the supporting fixture are obtained, and a corresponding finite element geometric model is established, wherein the geometric model includes any one or more of a tower model, a flange model and a supporting fixture model;
[0052] In step S12, a physical simulation model of the tower is established according to the material constitutive models of the tower and the supporting fixture, respectively, in combination with the geometric model;
[0053] In step S13, the strength of the tower is evaluated according to the motion accelerations in three directions during the sea transportation and the gravity acceleration of the tower itself.
[0054] In one embodiment, the strength assessment method of the seaborne tower is intended to assess whether the design strength requirements can be met during the ocean transportation process to ensure the safety and reliability of the tower transportation. The technical solution in this embodiment is based on the ANSYS finite element analysis software, which is aimed at the strength assessment of the tower during the sea transportation process. The length and weight of the tower are the prerequisites for the design and layout of the storage and transportation tooling. Based on relevant experience analysis, when the tower length exceeds 30 meters and the weight exceeds 150 tons, three supporting toolings are usually arranged at the front, middle and rear of the tower, of which two supporting toolings are in contact with the flanges at both ends of the tower, and one supporting tooling is in contact with the tower barrel in the middle of the tower. For towers with smaller length and weight, two supporting toolings can be arranged at the flange positions at the front and rear parts. After meeting the above design and layout requirements, storage and transportation strength calculations are carried out to ensure the safety and reliability of the storage and transportation process of the offshore tower. The core solution is the physical size data of the tower and the supporting tooling, and a geometric model is established to provide a basis for physical simulation. The geometric model is combined with the material constitutive model to establish a physical simulation model to accurately reflect the mechanical properties of the tower. The three-direction acceleration and gravity acceleration in sea transportation are used to simulate real transportation conditions and conduct tower strength analysis. The evaluation method is optimized from multiple aspects such as support tooling layout, material properties, and mesh division to improve simulation accuracy and evaluation reliability.
[0055] The physical dimensions of the tower and supporting fixtures are the basis of geometric modeling. By accurately measuring the dimensions, the finite element geometric model can be ensured to have high fidelity. The geometric model includes any part or all of the tower, flange and supporting fixtures, providing a structural basis for physical simulation. According to the acceleration of motion in three directions and the acceleration of gravity, the strength of the tower during transportation is evaluated to see if it meets the standards. Figure 5As shown, the support tooling is located below the tower, and the contact arc is greater than or equal to 90 degrees to ensure uniform force on the support. Improve the stability of the tower during transportation and avoid structural deformation caused by improper support position. The support tooling contacts the tower flange first. The mechanical properties of the flange are better than other parts of the tower. Prioritizing contact with the flange can reduce local stress concentration and improve overall anti-deformation ability. Soft materials are laid between the tower and the support tooling, which are connected by friction contact to relieve local stress. Nylon and rubber materials are used to provide elastic buffering to effectively absorb vibration and impact during transportation. The flange and tower are made of a first rigid material with superior performance (such as Q355N), and the support tooling is made of a second rigid material with lower performance (such as Q235N). The flange is made of an ideal elastic-plastic material, and its stress-strain curve is shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 As shown in the figure. Soft materials can be further introduced into composite materials, such as polyurethane composite gaskets, to take into account both elasticity and durability. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, hexahedral units (such as Solid186 units) or tetrahedral units (tetrahedral units) are used to simulate different structures. Among them, the mesh density around the flange is higher than that of the supporting tooling, the transitional mesh density is used in the non-contact area, and the edge of the bolt hole of the flange is divided into at least 5 unit meshes. The differentiated design of mesh density can balance the simulation accuracy and computational efficiency. Based on the hydrodynamic analysis results of the target sea area, the acceleration of motion in three directions is obtained, which accurately reflects the true characteristics of the load during transportation and is suitable for high-demand scenarios. If the hydrodynamic analysis results of the target sea area are lacking, the default load value is used to provide flexibility to adapt to the scenario where data is missing. Furthermore, during transportation, the stress distribution and deformation of the tower are monitored in real time by installing sensors. The monitoring data is linked to the simulation model using digital twin technology to achieve real-time dynamic optimization. The coupling model of wave impact, wind force and ocean current loads is introduced to make the evaluation results closer to the actual transportation conditions. The mesh density is automatically adjusted according to the stress concentration area to improve the simulation efficiency. The mesh division strategy is predicted in combination with the machine learning algorithm to optimize the allocation of computing resources. Multi-scale modeling methods are used for bolt holes and soft material contact areas to enhance the accuracy of local response analysis. Hydraulic adjustment support devices are designed to adapt to towers of different sizes and loads. High friction coefficient coatings or damping materials are added to the contact surface to prevent slippage during transportation. Carbon fiber reinforced materials or corrosion-resistant coatings are introduced to improve material performance. Shape memory alloys are used as support materials to automatically adjust the shape to adapt to load changes during transportation.
[0056] This seaborne tower strength assessment method is based on geometric modeling, combined with material properties and dynamic load analysis. It further improves the applicability and accuracy of the method through support tooling optimization, soft material application, and mesh refinement, providing reliable protection for the safety of offshore wind power tower transportation.
[0057] The technical solution in this embodiment accurately evaluates whether the strength of the tower meets the design requirements by simulating the force analysis of the tower during sea transportation, so as to avoid transportation damage or permanent deformation of the tower during sea transportation, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the sea transportation tower.
[0058] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, step S13 includes the following steps S21-S25:
[0059] In step S21, the critical stress of the flange and the tower is calculated according to the motion acceleration of the three directions and the gravity acceleration of the tower itself during the sea transportation process;
[0060] In step S22, when the yield strength of the first rigid material of the flange and the tower is greater than the critical stress, it is confirmed that the strength of the tower meets the design requirements;
[0061] In step S23, when the yield strength of the first rigid material of the flange and the tower is less than or equal to the critical stress, the value of the total strain, the range of the plastic region, and the positional relationship between the plastic region of the flange and the edge of the screw hole are analyzed;
[0062] In step S24, when the total strain value is less than 1%, and the range of the plastic region does not penetrate the flange and the barrel wall, and the plastic region of the flange does not extend to the edge of the screw hole, it is confirmed that the strength of the tower barrel meets the design requirements;
[0063] In step S25, when the total strain value is greater than or equal to 1%, or the range of the plastic zone runs through the flange or the barrel wall, or the plastic zone of the flange extends to the edge of the screw hole, it is confirmed that the strength of the tower does not meet the design requirements.
[0064] In one embodiment, the critical stress is calculated by dynamic load, and the material performance index and deformation behavior are combined to determine whether the tower strength meets the design requirements. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the three-direction motion acceleration (longitudinal, transverse, and vertical) during shipping and the gravity acceleration of the tower itself are used as input to calculate the critical stress of the key parts of the tower (flange and tower). If the transport acceleration value cannot be obtained based on the hydrodynamic analysis results of the transport ship type in the actual transport sea area, the Guidelines for the Preparation of Cargo Securing Manual can be referred to. The shipping acceleration envelope is taken as the roll a x =3.8m / s 2 ; pitch a y =7.4m / s 2 ; Dangling z =(9.2+9.8)m / s 2 . As attached Fig. 9 and attached Fig.10As shown in the figure, the critical stress is compared with the yield strength of the material to determine whether the tower has the risk of yielding. In the case of material yielding, the strain value and plastic area range are further analyzed to quantify the deformation risk of the structure. Based on the strain value, plastic area range, and screw hole edge state, it is finally determined whether the tower strength meets the design requirements.
[0065] Based on dynamic loads, considering the mechanical properties of flanges and towers, the critical stress is calculated as the core parameter for subsequent strength assessment. The critical stress is compared with the yield strength of the material to distinguish whether the tower is in an elastic deformation state. If yielding occurs, the residual performance of the structure is further analyzed by the strain value and the range of the plastic region. The strength state of the tower is finally confirmed based on whether the plastic region extends to key parts (such as the edge of the screw hole) and the size of the strain value. The three-directional motion acceleration reflects the impact of the swaying of the hull and the waves on the tower during transportation, including the longitudinal, transverse and vertical dimensions. The gravity acceleration reflects the continuous force of the tower's own weight on the structure. Dynamic loads are entered into the finite element model to calculate the transportation stress distribution of the flange and tower. The critical stress is the maximum stress value before the tower yields, and its size is affected by the combined effects of material properties, geometric structure and load distribution. The critical stress calculation needs to focus on the local stress concentration effect at the junction of the flange and the tower and the edge of the screw hole to improve the accuracy of the assessment. After obtaining the critical stress, compare it with the material yield strength of the flange and tower to determine whether the structure is still in the elastic deformation stage. eqv Divide by the material yield strength f of the tower or flange thickness yk , divided by the material safety factor γ m , the value obtained is less than or equal to 1, where the material safety factor γ m It is a fixed value, generally set to 1.1. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0066]
[0067] When the critical stress is less than the material yield strength, the tower only undergoes elastic deformation and can be restored to its original state after transportation, confirming that the strength meets the design requirements. When the critical stress is greater than or equal to the material yield strength, the flange or tower may enter a plastic deformation state, and further analysis of the residual deformation of the structure is required.
[0068] In the case of yielding, analyzing the relationship between strain value, plastic zone range and screw hole edge is a key step to further determine the safety of the structure. The total strain value ε can be evaluated according to IEC61400-6 to evaluate whether the structural deformation exceeds the design allowable value. If the plastic zone does not extend to the edge of the screw hole, it means that the deformation has limited effect on the structural connection performance. Check whether the plastic zone penetrates the flange or the barrel wall. If it penetrates, it means that the structure may fail and does not meet the design requirements. If the plastic zone does not penetrate and the strain value is less than 1%, it is confirmed that the structure still has sufficient bearing capacity. The refined mesh division around the screw hole (at least 5 unit meshes) provides technical support for analyzing the strain value and the plastic zone range. The plastic zone evaluation needs to be combined with material properties, local geometric details and dynamic load effects to avoid the one-sidedness of the analysis results.
[0069] The conditions for meeting the design requirements are that the total strain value ε is less than 1%, the plastic area does not penetrate the flange or the cylinder wall, and the plastic area of the flange does not extend to the edge of the screw hole. The calculation formula for the total strain value ε is as follows:
[0070]
[0071] Where E is the elastic modulus of the material, σ eqv is the equivalent stress, f yk is the material yield strength of the tower or flange thickness. The conditions that do not meet the design requirements are that the total strain value ε is greater than or equal to 1%, or the plastic area penetrates the flange or the wall, or the plastic area extends to the edge of the screw hole, all of which indicate that the structural strength does not meet the standard. The strength assessment method gradually determines the strength state of the tower during sea transportation through dynamic load calculation, yield strength comparison, strain and plastic area analysis. Through the above assessment conditions, a clear basis for judging the potential failure risk during sea transportation can be provided.
