Abstract

A floating offshore structure has high tendency to occur the buckling when compressive, bending and shear loads applied. When the buckling is occurred, in-plane stiffness of structure is remarkably decreased. And it has a harmful effect on the local structural strength as well as global structural strength. In the present study, it has been investigated the ultimate strength of tubular members which is located between a floater and a damping plate of the floating pendulum wave energy converter. Nonlinear finite element method is conducted using the initial imperfection according to 1st buckling mode which is obtained from the elastic buckling analysis. It is also noted the ultimate bending strength characteristic varying with a diameter, thickness and stiffeners of the tubular member.

부유식 해양구조물은 설계수명동안 파랑에 의한 압축력, 굽힘하중, 전단력 등의 작용으로 인해 좌굴이 발생할 가능성이 높다. 이는 부재의 면내 강성 저하를 유발하여 국부 구조물 뿐만 아니라 전체구조의 최종강도에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 부유식 진자형 파력발전장치의 수실부와 감쇠판을 연결하는 원통부재의 최종강도에 대해 조사하였다. 탄성좌굴해석을 통해 얻어진 1차 좌굴모드를 초기처짐으로 가정하여 탄소성대변형해석을 수행하였으며 최종강도 특성을 바탕으로 부유식 파력발전장치의 연결부인 원통부재의 최적설계인자를 도출하였다. 이를 통해, 원통부재의 직경을 크게하거나, 판의 두께를 두껍게 하는 방법과 보강재를 사용하여 단면적을 크게하는 것이 최종강도를 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
