Abstract

Optimum design of mooring dolphin is numerically investigated. Design optimization problem of moring dolphin is first formulated. Geometry and cross sections of piles are used as design variables. Design objective is the total weight of steel piles of mooring dolphin, and the constraints of stress, penetration depth, lower and upper bounds on design variables are imposed. Based on the design variable linking and fixing, several class of design variations are sought. For the numerical optimization, both PLBA(Pshenichny - Lim - Belegundu - Arora) program and DNCONF subroutine code in IMSL library are used. For a dolphin structure with 20 steel piles, vertical and inclined, optimum designs for different cases are successfully obtained, which can be applied for the mooring of a very large floating structure.
