简介:浮式生产储卸油系统(FPSO)是一种经济有效的浮式平台方案,特别是在缺乏足够的输油管道系统的深海领域.大多数FPSO是永久系泊的,即整个系统能够抵抗工作海域内的各种极值环境条件.目前,能够将FPSO与其系泊及立管系统快速解脱的装置已经设计并发展了.可解脱式FPSO的主要特点是可解脱性,并能避免一定的环境条件,如冰山,美国摩西哥湾的飓风,中国南海的台风.本文将针对深水海域可解脱式FPSO,提出其主要技术和工程分析与设计思路,评估可解脱式FPSO与永久式FPSO的优缺点,等等.可见可解脱式FPSO与永久式FPSO都是十分有效的浮式系统,并根据平台设计的安全性、技术、成本和运行要求,来决定选择何种系泊方式.
简介:为了研究船用工程复合材料的界面裂纹特性,建立了刚性一压力敏感粘弹塑性材料I型准静态扩展裂纹的力学模型.在稳态扩展阶段,应力和应变具有相同的奇异量级,即(σ,ε)∝r^-1/(n-1).引入Airy应力函数,通过渐近分析得出了裂纹尖端应力和应变的分离变量形式的渐近解,并采用打靶法求得了裂纹尖端应力和应变的数值结果.数值计算结果表明,界面裂尖场主要受材料的泊松比和幂硬化指数的控制.通过对裂纹尖端场的渐近分析,从应变角度出发,提出了刚性-压力敏感性材料界面I型准静态扩展裂纹的断裂判据.
