Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine engineering equipment safety assessment technology, specifically to a method for assessing axial bearing wear in a single-column mooring system. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous exploitation of oil and gas resources in offshore oil fields, monopilar mooring systems have been widely adopted due to their low cost, high efficiency, and reusability. As a key piece of equipment for fixing vessel positions and transporting oil and gas, the widespread use of monopilar mooring systems has also brought safety issues to the forefront. The wear problem of the hydraulic slip ring system bearings in monopilar mooring systems has become one of the main reasons for evaluating the lifespan and safety of these systems.

[0003] Currently, there is extensive research on the wear mechanism of liquid slip ring bearings both domestically and internationally. However, most wear models are based on the assumption of uniform bearing wear in the Archard model. In reality, single-column mooring systems are subjected to long-term environmental loads and traction during FPSO operations, causing eccentric wear in the liquid slip ring system, which in turn leads to excessive bearing wear.

[0004] Predictions based on uniform bearing wear are far from sufficient to describe the wear of fluid ring bearings under eccentric conditions. Eccentric wear further leads to tilting of the fluid ring system, thus exacerbating bearing wear and ultimately causing system failure. Therefore, a wear assessment method for fluid ring bearings based on eccentric loads is urgently needed to provide theoretical support for the safe operation of single-column mooring systems.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this invention but cannot be used to limit the scope of this invention.

[0024] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0025] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 This invention is described.

[0026] Example like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for assessing axial bearing wear in a single-column mooring system provided by the present invention, comprising the following steps: S1: Use Abaqus software to construct the overall finite element model and obtain the geometric parameters of the model structure; S2: Calculate the total wear depth of the bearing by partitioning according to the geometric parameters of the model structure; S3: Calculate the actual sliding distance under the specific working conditions based on the wave scattering diagram under the specific working conditions; S4: Call the Archard wear model to build a wear model based on the total wear depth and the sliding distance under actual working conditions; S5: Input the actual bearing's geometric parameters into the wear model to obtain the actual wear results, and determine whether the bearing passes the safety estimate.

[0027] Specifically, step S1 includes: Using Abaqus software, the geometric model was constructed based on the structural parameters of the single-column mooring system test bench; Assign values ​​based on actual material parameters and perform mesh generation; By applying lateral thrust to simulate eccentric conditions and performing numerical simulations, the contact stress distribution characteristics of the bearing section are extracted, and the geometric parameters of the model structure are obtained.

[0028] In this embodiment, a three-dimensional finite element model is constructed based on the geometric parameters of a certain single-column mooring system. The geometric parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0029] Table 1. Dimensional parameters of the experimental model The bearings and seals are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with an elastic modulus of 2.2 GPa and a Poisson's ratio of 0.4. The inner ring, outer ring, and column are made of stainless steel with an elastic modulus of 206 GPa and a Poisson's ratio of 0.3. A surface-to-surface contact type is selected, with a hard contact model for normal contact behavior and a penalty function method for tangential contact behavior. The friction coefficient is 0.2. The steel structure friction surface is defined as the primary friction surface, and the bearing friction surface is defined as the secondary friction surface. The model mesh uses C3D8R elements, with further detailed subdivision of the contact area. The element length is set to 5 mm.

[0030] The load setting adopts a step-by-step loading method. First, the structural self-weight is applied with a gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m / s². Then, a radial uniform load of 245 kN is applied at a reference point 500 mm from the top to simulate the stress state of the system under eccentric conditions. The maximum contact stress of the upper axial bearing is calculated to be 6.584 MPa, and the stress distribution data of the unit nodes are exported.

[0031] Specifically, step S2 includes: S21: Based on the contact stress distribution characteristics, multiple stress regions are divided. According to the Archard classical theoretical model, further analysis of the bearing contact pressure and slip distance in the actual process is required. This step simplifies the non-convergence problem in the calculation of eccentric wear by partitioning the nodal pressure. Multiple stress regions are divided based on the bearing surface contact stress data extracted from the geometric parameters in step S1. From a radial perspective, the wear in each region is independent, so the bearing is divided into three radial regions from the inside to the outside, further refined with a stress difference of 2 MPa, thereby achieving a partitioned description of wear behavior under different contact stress levels.

[0032] S22: Calculate the wear amount for each stress region to obtain the total wear depth of the bearing. The formula for calculating the total wear depth of the bearing is: in, For the first Wear coefficient of each stress zone For the first The average contact pressure in each stress zone For the first The slip distance corresponding to each stress zone For the first The area correction factor for each stress zone For the first The area of ​​each stress zone The total contact area, The number of stress regions is the number of regions to be divided. This is a correction factor.

[0033] In this example, the friction surface of the upper axial bearing is divided into zones according to the stress zone division principle. The zoning results are shown in Table 2.

[0034] Table 2 Upper Axial Bearing Contact Stress Zones Specifically, in step S3, the yaw motion of the single-pillar mooring system (FPSO) in the marine environment is decomposed into three parts: low-frequency drift motion, wave frequency motion, and tidal reciprocating motion; combined with the wave scattering diagram under specific operating conditions, the sea state probability weighting is obtained; based on the maximum angle value of the Rayleigh distribution, the sum of the annual slip distance of the FPSO under low-frequency motion, high-frequency motion, and tidal action is calculated.

[0035] To estimate the slip distance under actual experimental conditions, the statistical data of the sea conditions in a certain sea area are recorded in Table 3.

[0036] Table 3 Wave height probability distribution map The formula for step S3 is: in, This is the sliding distance under actual working conditions. It is the first The probability of certain sea conditions. The number of annual cycles caused by low-frequency motion. The number of annual cycles caused by high-frequency motion. The range of oscillation angles caused by low-frequency oscillation motion. The range of oscillation angles caused by high-frequency oscillation motion. This is the ordinal number for the sea state.

[0037] The range of the average deflection angle is given by the following formula: in, For the range of deflection angles, It is the standard deviation of the yaw angle amplitude. It is the gamma function. For ease of quantitative calculation in this embodiment, the standard deviation of the yaw motion response is used in the numerical calculation. Simplified fitting to wave height Linear correlation function: Used to simulate the driving force of wave energy on system motion, recommendation coefficient. Based on the sea state data in Table 3, the calculated slip distances under each sea state are shown in Table 4. Table 4. Distribution of bearing sliding distance under various sea conditions Table 4 shows that the total slip distance contributed by wave action alone over 10 years is approximately 183.2 km. Furthermore, considering the tidal effect on the system, the single-pillar mooring system experiences two large-angle yaws daily with the rising and falling tides. Calculations show that the additional slip distance generated by tidal action over the 10-year service life is approximately 12.2 km. In summary, the total slip distance of the axial bearing of this single-pillar mooring system over a 10-year period is 195.4 km, equivalent to 20,500 revolutions of the test bench.

[0038] Specifically, in step S4, a bearing wear model is constructed and the wear depth is calculated. The axial bearing portion is extracted from the single-column mooring system model, and a 1 / 5 bearing finite element model is constructed. Fixed constraints and rotational displacement of the upper steel structure are applied to the model, and the improved Archard wear model in Abaqus 2025 is called to quantitatively calculate the wear depth under different conditions.

[0039] To reduce computational load, the axial bearing region is extracted from the overall finite element model, and a 1 / 5 finite element wear analysis model is established. The local model retains the geometric features, material properties, and contact type of the overall model; full constraints are applied to the bottom of the bearing to limit displacement; in terms of load, contact stress is applied between the bearing and the upper steel structure, and rotational displacement is applied by establishing a coupling relationship through the upper steel structure via a reference point, driving the upper component to produce sliding behavior.

[0040] In this implementation, the contact relationship is defined using a general contact definition in Abaqus 2025 software, and a Coulomb friction model is set in the contact properties. The friction coefficient is selected based on the material pair and the actual lubrication state, with a value ranging from 0.05 to 0.15. Subsequently, the built-in Archard wear model of the software is enabled in the same contact properties, and the wear coefficient and material relative hardness parameters are input. The bearing material is PTFE, and the relative hardness is set to 30 MPa.

[0041] This invention, by setting a single representative load step and simulating multiple slip processes using a cyclic execution method, can obtain long-term wear response without repeatedly solving for contact convergence, significantly reducing computational costs. After analysis, the nodal wear depth distribution is extracted in the post-processing module, and the maximum wear value under different load conditions is obtained for evaluating bearing durability.

[0042] Based on the number of nodes in each zone, the area of ​​the region and the wear coefficient under different stress levels are determined, and the wear depth of different bearing stress regions in the bearing system is solved. During the calculation process, the wear depth and surface geometry are updated iteratively according to the contact pressure and sliding distance parameters of each zone, realizing the dynamic evolution of wear distribution under eccentric load. After the calculation is completed, the wear depth of the inner ring of the upper axial bearing is output as shown in Table 5.

[0043] Table 5. Stress Zoning Table for Inner Ring of Upper Axial Bearing The finite element analysis results show that the wear depth of the most severe wear area under eccentric wear of the upper bearing is 0.1164 mm, while the wear depth of the lower bearing is 0.0396 mm. Therefore, the fluid ring clearance caused by axial bearing wear is 0.156 mm.

[0044] Specifically, this example uses 18 M20 high-strength bolts, designed preload. Axial tensile force component at bearing under once-in-a-century sea conditions Based on VDI 223 and DNV-RP-C203 standards, empirical formulas are given for the load amplification factor model caused by bearing wear. for: in, The total wear of the axial bearing is given by: 0.1, the basic load transfer factor; 2.154, the impact weighting factor; 0.3, the reference failure wear based on past failure cases; and 1.65, the structural nonlinearity index. Based on the above amplification factors, two independent failure evaluation index formulas are established: Bolt impact failure index This serves as a system safety indicator under static strength conditions. Its calculation formula is: in, The cross-sectional area under bolt stress is... The yield strength of the bolt material is taken as 940 MPa in this example.

[0045] Bolt fatigue failure index As a safety indicator for lifespan depletion, its calculation formula is: in, The modified fatigue limit stress amplitude of the bolt in a marine environment is 92 MPa in this example.

[0046] The impact amplification factor in this example was calculated. Impact failure index Fatigue failure index .

[0047] Based on VDI 2230 and DNV-RP-C203 standards, combined with the impact failure index With fatigue failure index According to the wear depth The changes establish safety assessment standards, and the specific judgments are shown in Table 6: Table 6 Safety Assessment Criteria Judgment Table Based on the above safety assessment criteria, the 10-year wear bearing in this example passed the safety assessment.

[0048] By using finite element analysis in the wear model, the wear amounts in different regions are summed as a function of the number of wear cycles to obtain the total wear amount of the axial bearing. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the number of cycles required to reach the failure wear depth can be determined to obtain the bearing service life. This figure can also be used as a system life evaluation standard.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the following describes a system for assessing axial bearing wear in a single-column mooring system provided by this invention.
