사장교에 사용되는 팽팽한 경사 케이블은 풍우현상에 의하여 진동에 쉽게 노출된다. 더욱이 보편적으로 알려진 풍우현상 이외의 이상현상에 의한 과도한 진동이 발생할 여지도 항상 존재한다. 급증한 동적변위는 케이블과 보호관에 과도한 인장력을 발생시키고 정착구와 댐퍼에 피로손상을 발생시키며 보강형의 설계에서 고려하지 않았던 추가적인 전단력 변화를 발생시킨다. 본 연구는 사장 케이블의 자유장에 발생된 동적변위에 의한 케이블의 동적장력 변화와 보강형의 전단력 변화를 분석 할 수 있는 해석적인 기법을 기술하고, 이로 인해 발생될 수 있는 사장교의 동적문제를 간략히 언급한다. 이것을 실현시키기 위해 사장 케이블이 진동하여 법선방향 변위를 발생시킬 때 나타나는 변화를 현방향 장력과 법선방향 장력으로 분리하여 물리적인 현상을 미분방정식으로 표현한 후 전개한 해를 풍우현상에 적용하여 케이블의 동적장력 변화와 보강형의 전단력 변화를 산정하였다. 주목할 것으로 CIP Recommendations(2002)에서 제시하는 방법론에 본 연구의 일부사항을 반영하여 산정하면 본 연구와 매우 유사한 결과를 제시하지만 CIP Recommendations에서 제시하는 방법론을 그대로 따라서 산정하면 10% 이상의 오차를 제시함을 확인하였다. 이것은 국제적으로 활용도가 매우 높은 설계지침에서 조차도 본 연구에서 논의하는 주제에 관한 조치가 없었음을 의미하는 것이다. 여기에 관한 검증은 사장 케이블의 진동형상을 만족하도록 외적하중을 재하시킨 탄성현수선 요소를 이용한 유한요소해석을 통하여 수행하였다.

The subsea power cables are increasingly important for harvesting renewable energies as we develop offshore wind farms located at a long distance from shore. Particularly, the continuous flexural motion of inter-array dynamic power cable of floating offshore wind turbine causes tremendous fatigue damages on the cable. As the subsea power cable consists of the helical structures with various components unlike a mooring line and a steel pipe riser, the fatigue analysis of the cables should be performed using special procedures that consider stick/slip phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs between inner helically wound components when they are tensioned or compressed by environmental loads and the floater motions. In particular, Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) can be generated by currents and have significant impacts on the fatigue life of the cable. In this study, the procedure for VIV fatigue analysis of the dynamic power cable has been established. Additionally, the respective roles of programs employed and required inputs and outputs are explained in detail. Demonstrations of case studies are provided under severely sheared currents to investigate the influences on amplitude variations of dynamic power cables caused by the excitation of high mode numbers. Finally, sensitivity studies have been performed to compare dynamic cable design parameters, specifically, structural damping ratio, higher order harmonics, and lift coefficients tables. In the future, one of the fundamental assumptions to assess the VIV response will be examined in detail, namely a narrow-banded Gaussian process derived from the VIV amplitudes. Although this approach is consistent with current industry standards, the level of consistency and the potential errors between the Gaussian process and the fatigue damage generated from deterministic time-domain results are to be confirmed to verify VIV fatigue analysis procedure for slender marine structures.

Investigations of large commercial aircraft impact effect on nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings have been drawing extensive attentions, particularly after the 9/11 event, and this paper aims to numerically assess the damage and vibrations of NPP buildings subjected to aircrafts crash. In Part I of present paper, two shots of reduce-scaled model test of aircraft impact on NPP were conducted based on the large rocket sled loading test platform. In the present part, the numerical simulations of both scaled and prototype aircraft impact on NPP buildings are further performed by adopting the commercial program LS-DYNA. Firstly, the refined finite element (FE) models of both scaled aircraft and NPP models in Part I are established, and the model impact test is numerically simulated. The validities of the adopted numerical algorithm, constitutive model and the corresponding parameters are verified based on the experimental NPP model damages and accelerations. Then, the refined simulations of prototype A380 aircraft impact on a hypothetical NPP building are further carried out. It indicates that the NPP building can totally withstand the impact of A380 at a velocity of 150 m/s, while the accompanied intensive vibrations may still lead to different levels of damage on the nuclear related equipment. Referring to the guideline NEI07-13, a maximum acceleration contour is plotted and the shock damage propagation distances under aircraft impact are assessed, which indicates that the nuclear equipment located within 11.5 m from the impact point may endure malfunction. Finally, by respectively considering the rigid and deformable impacts mainly induced by aircraft engine and fuselage, an improved Riera function is proposed to predict the impact force of aircraft A380.
