This invention discloses a method for analyzing the tension characteristics of a wave-shaped riser, comprising: determining the structural parameters of the wave-shaped riser
system and the marine environmental parameters; constructing a three-dimensional model of the wave-shaped riser
system, discretizing the riser into multiple reduced beam elements using the absolute
nodal coordinate method, obtaining the
nodal coordinate vectors of the reduced beam elements, and deriving the
mass matrix of the reduced beam elements; calculating the element
strain energy corresponding to
axial strain and
bending strain, and obtaining the generalized elastic force of the elements; calculating the distributed load and concentrated force acting on the riser, and converting them into generalized external forces of the
system, obtaining the generalized external
force vector of the system; assembling the
mass matrix, generalized external
force vector, and
nodal coordinate vector of each element to form the overall system
dynamic equation; solving the system
dynamic equation to obtain the absolute nodal
coordinate vector of the riser at different times, and then calculating the tension along the entire length of the riser. This invention can accurately predict the tension distribution of the riser in complex marine environments.
