[0050] To more clearly demonstrate the implementation steps and advantages of this invention, the specific implementation methods are described below with reference to the illustrations.
[0051] This application proposes a method for determining the bending moment of the cross-section of a steel-concrete hybrid wind turbine tower transition ring under axial compression conditions. This method fills a gap in existing design specifications, ensures the reliability of calculation results, and provides a scientific basis for the optimized design and safety assessment of the transition ring, thereby reducing engineering risks. The specific implementation steps of this method are illustrated below:
[0052] By obtaining the preset axial pressure on the transition ring, the preset prestress generated by the prestressing tendons, and the geometric dimensions of the transition ring;
[0053] Based on the preset force equivalent transformation scheme, the transition ring at any arc angle in the transition ring is taken as the isolation body for force analysis. Based on axial pressure, prestress, and geometric dimensions, the target parameters are obtained through simplified calculation. The target parameters include:
[0054] Concentrated force F generated by prestressing tendons in the isolated body pt And the distance L1 from the equivalent point of force application to the axis of the transition ring;
[0055] Concentrated force caused by axial pressure in the isolation body And the distance L2 from the equivalent point of force application to the axis of the transition ring;
[0056] The distance L0 from the equivalent stress point of uniform stress distribution in the isolator to the axis of the transition ring;
[0057] Based on the target parameters and using the pre-established formula for the normal section bending moment, the normal section bending moment of the transition ring is obtained. :
[0058] ;
[0059] In the formula, M x F represents the bending moment at the normal section. pt This indicates the concentrated force generated by the prestressing tendons. L1 represents the concentrated force caused by axial pressure. pt The distance from the equivalent point of force application to the center of the adapter ring, L2 represents F. G The distance from the equivalent stress point to the axis of the transition ring is L0, where L0 represents the distance from the equivalent stress point to the axis of the transition ring, and α represents half of the arc angle.
[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the steel-concrete hybrid wind turbine tower includes a steel tower, a wind turbine, a transition ring, and a concrete tower. The steel tower is connected to the transition ring via a flange. The position of the transition ring on the steel-concrete hybrid wind turbine tower is as follows. Figure 1 As shown.
[0061] Under axial compression conditions, the load borne by the transition ring in this application is simplified into two parts, by Figure 2 It is known that the load includes: the axial pressure G composed of the wind turbine gravity load G1 and the self-weight G2 of the steel tower section, and the prestress P generated by the prestressing tendons. Among these, the axial pressure G, the prestress P generated by the prestressing tendons, and the prestress nP generated by n prestressing tendons are all determined according to design requirements, i.e., they are all pre-set. The structure of the transition ring in this application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, its geometric dimensions can be determined by pre-design or obtained based on actual measurements. The geometric dimensions of the adapter ring include the outer radius R of the bottom cross-section of the adapter ring. ab The inner radius r of the bottom section of the adapter ring ab The outer radius R of the top section of the adapter ring at and the inner radius r of the top section of the adapter ring at By obtaining the preset axial pressure G, the prestress P generated by the prestressing tendons, and the geometric dimensions of the transition ring, the bending moment M of the normal section can be calculated. x It is then used for subsequent reinforcement. In practice, the bending moment of the transition structure can be calculated based on the pre-designed load of the transition ring and the measured geometric dimensions.
[0062] This scheme will calculate the bending moment of the steel-concrete hybrid wind turbine tower transition ring under axial compression under the following assumptions. The four stress assumptions include: assuming that the top and bottom sections of the transition ring conform to the plane section assumption; assuming that the transition ring is under full-section compression, ignoring the effects of interface opening and bottom friction; and assuming that the resultant shear stress of the section is applied at the centroid of the cross-section.
[0063] In addition, the local stress diagram of the adapter ring is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the top section of the transition ring is subjected to axial pressure G and prestress P generated by the prestressing tendons. This scheme proposes an equivalent force transformation method, including converting the aforementioned axial pressure G into an axial pressure line load q distributed along the top section of the transition ring. G ,have: L G For q G The radius of the effective area can be obtained through measurement; the prestress P is converted into a prestressed line load q distributed along the top section of the transition ring. pt ,have: L pt For q pt The radius of the effective area can be obtained through measurement, and n is the number of prestressing tendons; the axial pressure G acting on the bottom of the transition ring and the prestress P generated by the n prestressing tendons are transformed into a uniformly distributed stress at the bottom of the transition ring. ,have: .like Figure 5 As shown, R ab The outer radius r of the bottom section of the adapter ring is indicated by the number of radii. ab This indicates the inner radius of the bottom cross section of the adapter ring.
[0064] In the theoretical derivation process, such as Figure 6 As shown, we analyze a freestanding body with an arc angle of 2α and a height of H. The main forces acting on the freestanding body are as follows: axial pressure line load q pt The equivalent line load q generated by the prestressing tendons uniformly distributed at the top section of the isolated body pt ; axial pressure line load q G The equivalent line load q caused by the axial pressure uniformly distributed at the top section of the isolated body G The uniformly distributed stress σ R The surface load σ is uniformly distributed at the bottom section of the isolated body. R (ρ,θ), radial coordinate ρ, angle θ; the required bending moment Mx acting on the lateral section of the isolated body; the vertical shear force F acting on the lateral section of the isolated body. s .
[0065] Among them, such as Figure 7The diagram illustrates the conversion of the load on the isolator of the transition ring into a concentrated force. The load on the isolator is transformed into a corresponding concentrated force. Using a pre-defined simplified formula for axial pressure, the equivalent line load q generated by the axial pressure at the top section of the isolator is calculated. G Calculate the concentrated force F generated by the axial pressure in the isolated body. G The simplified formula for axial pressure is:
[0066]
[0067] Using a pre-defined simplified prestressing formula, the equivalent line load q caused by the prestressing tendons at the top section of the isolator is calculated. pt Calculate the concentrated force F generated by the prestressing tendons pt The simplified formula for prestressing is:
[0068]
[0069] Vertical shear force F s Calculated by the following formula:
[0070]
[0071] Concentrated force F generated by prestressing tendons pt The distance L1 from the equivalent point of force application to the center of the adapter ring is calculated using the following formula:
[0072]
[0073] Concentrated force F caused by axial pressure G The distance L2 from the equivalent point of force application to the center of the adapter ring is calculated using the following formula:
[0074]
[0075] Uniformly distributed stress in the isolation body Simplified to stress concentration force F R The distance L0 from the equivalent stress point of uniformly distributed stress to the axis of the transition ring is determined by R. ab and r a The formula for calculating L0 is as follows:
[0076]
[0077] After obtaining the above target parameters, the normal section bending moment M is calculated using the preset normal section bending moment formula. x .
[0078] In the specific implementation process, the values of axial pressure G and prestress P will first be determined based on the actual engineering parameters. Then, the geometric dimensions of the transition ring will be determined by measurement or design, including the inner and outer radii and height of the top and bottom sections, the anchorage positions of the prestressing tendons and bolts, etc. The bending moment of the normal section will be calculated using a preset bending moment calculation formula. Substituting the load and geometric parameters into the formula, the bending moment value M of each section of the transition ring will be calculated. x .
[0079] This application uses a specific engineering project as an example, with load parameters G=3490 kN, M=13600 kN⋅m, nP=29070 kN; and geometric parameters R. ab =2500mm, r ab =2200mm, R at =2270mm, r at =1490mm, L G =1880mm, L pt =1780mm, H=2300mm, H 裙 =300mm, substituting these parameters into the formula, the maximum bending moment of the cross section is calculated to be 2964.44kN·m. Comparing the calculated maximum bending moment of the cross section with the corresponding finite element simulation results, the error is 3.17%, which meets the engineering accuracy requirements.
[0080] Furthermore, based on this engineering embodiment, with L G L pt Ten control groups (CG1-CG10) were set with parameters such as adapter ring thickness, diameter-to-thickness ratio, and adapter ring taper. The corresponding dimensional data are shown in Table 1 below.

[0082] Table 1
[0083] The data in Table 2 below can be obtained by calculating the bending moment of the normal section using the formula of this application and by finite element simulation:
[0084]
[0085] Table 2
[0086] In the table above, the units for "M-theoretical" and "M-simulation" are both kN.m. After comparing multiple sets of finite element simulations with theoretical calculations, it can be found that the units for all groups of M... x The errors are all within the range of (2.42, 3.79%), therefore, this formula for the bending moment of the normal section can be considered valid.
[0087] In summary, this application provides a high-precision method for determining the bending moment of the normal section of a transition ring, which not only fills the gap in existing design specifications; but also ensures the reliability of the calculation results through theoretical derivation and finite element verification; and provides a scientific basis for the optimized design and safety assessment of transition rings, thereby reducing engineering risks.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
