Abstract

For the design of safe and economic offshore structure the knowledge of the wave environment and related wave-structure interactions is required. In general, frequency domain analysis has been regarded as an adequate tool for the assessment of motion and loads which are needed to derive the stress and hydrodynamics forces as well as operational limitations. For investigating the behavior of response to specific sea conditions, this research analyzes the behavior of the response due to motion and wave forces as well as hydrodynamics with focus on a type square column. The frequency domain investigation has used to provide the response behaviors on the wetted body of the semi-submersible in regular waves. For investigation,, the selected sea condition for regular wave is generated in a physical wave tank, and the behavior of the response on the semi-submersible is evaluated at model scale. Equation of motion was formulated to evaluate the added mass, dampi ng and stiffness at every frequency step. In frequency domain analysis, the hydrodynamics responses were obtained.

Abstract

This paper is proposed to discuss the model scale mooring line selection process and preparation for hydrodynamic model experiment. The model scale mooring line should be proper select for model experiment and the error should be minimized because the error in model scale mooring line will be enlarged by the scale factor and influence the design in full scale model. In this study, tensile test experiment for model scale wire ropes was conducted to collect the material properties data of the wire ropes. The data collected from the tensile test is applied to obtain the stiffness of mooring lines in the model scale. To achieve the target to select the model scale mooring lines, the minimum breaking load of the wire ropes and the elongation curve of the wire ropes are collected from tensile test for each wire rope sample. By applying catenary theory and the data from tensile test, the stiffness curve of the mooring line in model scale was estimated. The Difference between the stiffness curve between model scale and full scale is within acceptable at the required experiment range.
