Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of structural modeling, and particularly to a method and system for modeling the structure of an offshore derrick. Background Art
[0002] The offshore derrick, as an important infrastructure for offshore oil exploitation, its structural safety and stability are crucial. Due to the particularity of the marine environment, the derrick is long-term exposed to a humid and corrosive environment, and at the same time, it is affected by multi-dimensional variable loads such as wind, waves, and currents, which easily lead to damages such as corrosion, cracks, and bending of the members. When these damages accumulate to a certain extent, it will seriously affect the bearing capacity of the derrick, and even cause catastrophic consequences such as member fracture and derrick collapse, resulting in huge casualties and property losses. Therefore, accurately evaluating the bearing capacity of the offshore derrick and timely carrying out defense and maintenance are of great significance for ensuring the safety of offshore oil and gas exploitation.
[0003] Currently, establishing a numerical model for an in-service offshore derrick mainly relies on the three-dimensional coordinate information of the key points of the derrick provided by the design drawings. Through these coordinate information, the structural model of the derrick can be constructed and its bearing capacity can be analyzed. However, for an in-service offshore derrick, due to the influence of various damages, there are often differences between its actual structure and the design drawings, which will lead to a decrease in the accuracy of the numerical model, thus affecting the reliability of the bearing capacity evaluation results.
[0004] Therefore, how to establish a numerical model that accurately reflects the actual state of an in-service offshore derrick has become a key issue for scientifically determining its bearing capacity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the main object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for modeling the structure of an offshore derrick. Depending on the three-dimensional scanning technology, the three-dimensional scanning of the main structure of the offshore derrick is carried out to obtain point cloud data. Through the processing of the point cloud data, the three-dimensional numerical model of the offshore derrick is reconstructed, and the material parameters of the offshore derrick are revised based on the measured vibration data to obtain the structural reference model of the measured offshore derrick, providing model support for its safety evaluation and life prediction.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions. A method for modeling the structure of an offshore derrick includes the following steps:

[0015] Among them, CSF is the cross-characteristic scale factor, Nf is the number of frequency points, ω k is the frequency at the k-th point, n is the number of frequency points, i is a specific index; H is the frequency response function; α α represents the amplitude matrix of the frequency response function analysis; α e is the measured amplitude matrix of the frequency response function; CSF is the cross-characteristic scale factor, which represents the amplitude correlation between the measured response and the predicted response, and its value range is between 0 and 1, 0 means uncorrelated, and 1 means completely correlated;
[0016] The cross-characteristic assurance criterion is expressed as:
[0017]
[0018] Among them,; ω k is the frequency at the k-th point; n is the number of frequency points; i is a specific index; H is the frequency response function; Nf is the number of frequency points, α α represents the amplitude matrix of the frequency response function analysis, α e is the measured amplitude matrix of the frequency response function; CSAC is the cross-characteristic assurance criterion, which represents the mode shape correlation between the measured response and the predicted response, and its value range is between 0 and 1, 0 means uncorrelated, and 1 means completely correlated.
[0019] The result of the comparison is the difference between the modal parameters of the derrick numerical model and the measured derrick vibration data;
[0020] The preset threshold condition is that the difference between the modal parameters of the derrick numerical model and the measured derrick vibration data is less than 10%.
[0021] The construction of the derrick numerical model includes the following steps;
[0022] Specify the regional scope of the derrick, give the local neighborhood of the boundary points, fit the local surface within the local neighborhood using polynomial functions, and project the boundary points onto the corresponding local surfaces to obtain multiple projection points;
[0023] Triangulate the multiple projection points to form a triangular mesh and obtain the triangular normal vectors;
[0024] Combine the normal vector information and the triangular vertex information, and obtain the internal points of the triangle through interpolation to obtain a local continuous surface until the surface construction is completed;
[0025] Construct the derrick numerical model based on the actual dimensions of the derrick main legs and back crossbeams, combined with the specific dimensions of other derrick components given.
[0026] An offshore derrick structure modeling system includes:

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0031] The present invention performs feature selection and filtering on the point cloud data obtained by scanning, effectively removing background noise and irrelevant point clouds, ensuring the high quality and accuracy of the point cloud data for modeling. Using the effective point cloud data to construct a surface and combining with the actual dimensions, an accurate numerical model of the derrick is established, reflecting the true structural characteristics of the derrick. Real-time data is obtained through vibration sensors installed on the main legs of the derrick and used to revise the elastic modulus of the numerical model, making the model more in line with the actual working conditions. By using the cross-feature scale factor and the cross-feature guarantee criterion, through iterative optimization, accurate derrick modal parameters are obtained, improving the prediction ability of the dynamic characteristics of the model. By comparing the modal parameters predicted by the model with the measured vibration data and confirming the benchmark model under the condition of meeting the preset threshold, the credibility and applicability of the model are ensured. The accurate numerical model and modal parameter analysis help to identify potential structural problems, carry out maintenance and reinforcement in advance, and improve the structural safety and service life of the derrick. Through the numerical model constructed by the present invention, the actual deformation or corrosion conditions of its main members can be accurately restored. Combining with vibration testing, a benchmark numerical model of the offshore drilling rig derrick can be constructed, providing an accurate model basis for its safety evaluation and scientific data support and decision-making basis for the design, construction, maintenance and upgrade of the derrick.

[0035] The offshore drilling rig derrick has been in service for many years. In the harsh marine environment, affected by environmental corrosion and alternating operating loads, it has suffered varying degrees of deformation, pitting and other damages. In the past, the modeling of the offshore drilling rig derrick mainly relied on drawings and could not truly reflect the real structure of the in-service offshore drilling rig derrick. Through the numerical model constructed by the present invention, the actual deformation or corrosion conditions of its main members can be accurately restored. Combining with vibration testing, a benchmark numerical model of the offshore drilling rig derrick can be constructed, providing an accurate model basis for its safety evaluation.
[0036] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0052] Table 1 Modification results of the derrick finite element model under the measured modal parameters
[0053]
[0054] Example 2:
[0055] In this example, a typical offshore oil and gas derrick model is modeled. Refer to Figure 1 , when the main legs and back crossbeams of the derrick have been scanned and point cloud data have been generated, the specific steps are as follows:
[0056] First, through laser scanning technology or other point cloud acquisition methods, the point cloud data of the main legs and back crossbeams of the derrick are obtained. Assume that the point cloud data of the main legs and back crossbeams of the derrick contain the following information:
[0057] The amount of point cloud data obtained is about 500,000 points; the spatial range of the obtained point cloud is the main legs and back crossbeams of the derrick, with dimensions of about 20 meters in width, 50 meters in length, and 80 meters in height. And the accuracy of each sample point is about 0.01 meters.
[0058] In order to remove noise and invalid data, the following filtering methods are applied:
[0059] First, the point cloud data is processed by system meshing, and the point cloud data is reduced to 100,000 points to reduce the amount of calculation. Then, using Statistical Outlier Removal filtering, the noise points deviating from the main distribution are further removed, and the remaining effective point cloud data is 80,000 points.
[0060] Using the processed effective point cloud data, the surface of the derrick is constructed, and the Poisson surface reconstruction method is used to construct the three-dimensional surface of the derrick. The height of the main leg of the derrick is 80 meters, the width is 5 meters, the length of the back crossbeam is 50 meters, and the width is 10 meters.
[0061] After the surface reconstruction of the effective point cloud data, the three-dimensional models of the main legs and back crossbeams are obtained.
[0062] Two unidirectional vibration sensors for the X-axis and Y-axis directions are installed on the main legs of the derrick to collect vibration data of the derrick at different frequencies. Suppose at a certain specific frequency, the vibration data is as follows: Vibration data in the X direction: amplitude is 2.5 mm / s, frequency is 1 Hz; Vibration data in the Y direction: amplitude is 3.1 mm / s, frequency is 1 Hz.
[0063] Based on the actually measured vibration data of the derrick, revise the elastic parameters of the derrick numerical model. Through the finite element analysis (FEA) method, optimize the elastic modulus of the derrick. In this implementation, the derrick material is steel, the elastic modulus E = 210 GPa, and the Poisson's ratio is assumed to be ν = 0.3, so that the response of the numerical model is more consistent with the actual measurement data.
[0064] Use modal analysis to calculate the natural frequencies and vibration modes of the revised derrick numerical model. Through modal analysis, obtain the modal parameters of the derrick numerical model, specifically including: the first natural frequency is 1.2 Hz, and the second natural frequency is 3.5 Hz; the main deformation is the longitudinal bending of the main leg as the first vibration mode. Then, compare the modal parameters of the revised derrick numerical model with the actually measured vibration data. Suppose through comparison, the difference between the first natural frequency and the measurement data is 0.1 Hz, and the second difference is 0.2 Hz.
[0065] According to the cross characteristic scale factor and the cross characteristic assurance criterion, combined with the revised derrick numerical model, iterate to obtain the modal parameters of the revised derrick numerical model until when the modal parameters of the revised derrick numerical model are compared with the measured derrick vibration data, during the comparison process, the difference between the modal parameters and the measurement data is less than the set threshold of 10%, meeting the set threshold. This means that the revised derrick numerical model is accurate.
[0066] Finally, according to the comparison result between the modal parameters and the vibration data, confirm the revised derrick numerical model as the benchmark model for the offshore derrick. This model can be used for further structural analysis and optimization.
[0067] In this embodiment, suppose there are Nf frequency points, for example, 100 frequency points, and calculate the measured amplitude matrix and predicted amplitude matrix of the frequency response function. The cross characteristic scale factor (CSF) and the cross characteristic assurance criterion (CSAC) represent the mode correlation between the measured response and the predicted response. Suppose the CSF value is 0.95 and the CSAC value is 0.92, indicating that the measured vibration response and the predicted response of the numerical model are highly correlated.
[0068] In terms of model accuracy, the difference between the modal parameters of the revised derrick numerical model and the actual vibration data is less than 10%, meeting the design requirements. In terms of modal analysis, the obtained modal parameters are in agreement with the measured data, confirming that this numerical model can be used as a reference model. In terms of vibration data, the vibration data measured by the unidirectional vibration sensor is 2.5 mm / s (X direction) and 3.1 mm / s (Y direction).
[0069] Through the above steps, a numerical model of an offshore derrick was successfully established, and the accuracy of the model was verified through vibration testing and modal analysis, and finally it was confirmed as the reference model of the derrick.
