Closed-form integration of singular terms for constant,linear and quadratic boundary elements. Part 1. SH wave propagation

One of the most important aspects in the application of boundary element techniques to wave propagation problems is the accurate representation of the singular terms at the points of application of the virtual loads. It is current practice to carry out this task by means of numerical quadrature. This paper presents an analytical evaluation of the singular integrals for constant, linear and quadratic boundary elements involving SH waves, the results of which are then used to model inclusions in a two-dimensional acoustic medium illuminated by dynamic anti-plane line sources. Finally, the BEM results are compared with the known analytical solutions for cylindrical inclusions.     

SIF evaluation and stress analysis of drillstring threaded joints

In a study by Tafreshi and Dover [1], [2], [3] stress analysis of drillstring threaded joints under axial, bending and torsion loadings was carried out using the finite element method. Stress concentrations were determined on a variety of threaded joints in order to predict the fatigue life of these components. Here some of those results are presented in more detail. In this study it is shown that in the case of bending, axisymmetric solid elements with non-linear, asymmetric deformation with fourier interpolation can be employed which reduces the computational time and modelling in comparison with the full three-dimensional analysis. Quasi semi-elliptic circumferential internal and external cracks in tubes with the same dimensions of the pins or boxes of a series of joints are modelled and analysed using the J-integral method. The result of this fully three-dimensional crack analysis shows the same trend as experimental [3] and published results [4].     

波浪荷载作用下海上新型潜式浮式风力机运动特性研究

以适用于中等水深(50~200 m)的新型潜式浮式风力机为研究对象,该风力机基础综合Spar式、半潜式及张力腿(TLP)3类浮式风力机基础的优点,运行时基础主体淹没在水下,具有较小的水线面(如同Spar平台),受波浪影响较小;平台通过张紧式系泊线与海床相连(如同TLP平台),具有良好的垂荡和摇摆运动特性;拖航状态下,浮式平台处于半潜状态,水线面面积大(如同半潜式平台),具有良好的浮稳性。通过分析不同波况下的潜式浮式风力机耦合动力响应得到潜式浮式基础的横荡、纵荡、垂荡及纵摇运动响应,以及发电功率、叶片根部弯矩、塔筒顶部和底部弯矩、锚链张力时程曲线。研究结果表明:波浪对于结构的纵摇运动的影响最为明显,对发电功率、叶片根部弯矩和塔筒顶部弯矩影响较小,对塔筒底部弯矩和系泊线张力影响较大。     

Optimal sizing of wind-hydrogen system considering hydrogen demand and trading modes

In order to make full use of renewable energy and improve the utilization of wind power, a new joint optimization scheme of the wind-hydrogen system coupled with transmission project is proposed in this paper, in which wind power is reasonably allocated for grid integration and for hydrogen production. Aiming at maximize the annul wind-hydrogen system benefit, the optimal sizes of wind power transmission project and hydrogen system are obtained under different hydrogen production modes, hydrogen trading modes and hydrogen demand levels. In addition, the penalty cost of wind curtailment and hydrogen supply shortage and the system environmental benefits are taken into account. Results show: during the long-term of insufficient of wind power, it is better to produce hydrogen using wind power and grid-assisted power to avoid hydrogen supply shortage; considering the future increase of hydrogen demand, the optimal supply number of hydrogen refueling stations in the wind-hydrogen system is two. Also, the low utilization of fuel cells means that the benefit from regeneration cannot offset the high cost, which leads to the abnegation of fuel cells in the wind-hydrogen system.

在室内拖曳水池中开展大长径比（L/D=350）,小质量比（m*=1.90）和大倾角（a=45 °）倾斜柔性圆柱涡激振动（VIV）抑制实验,观测螺旋列板对柔性圆柱VIV的抑制效果,并分析倾斜抑制圆柱涡激振动响应特性。选取海洋工程领域最优螺距/高度比组合（17.5D/0.25D）。通过拖车拖动模拟均匀来流,拖车速度范围为0.05 m/s~1.0 m/s,间隔为0.05 m/s,对应的雷诺数约为Re=800~16000。采用应变传感器测量结构横流向与顺流向的振动信息,并根据模态法处理实验数据。实验结果表明:螺旋列板对大倾角倾斜柔性圆柱VIV响应幅值和结构应变抑制效果不理想;同时观测到倾斜抑制圆柱涡激振动存在多模态的振动特征;并发现不相关原则（IP）不适用于倾斜抑制圆柱的涡激振动。
