  • dynamic and fatigue analyses of stress joint for deepwater steel catenary riser
    ASME 2012 31st International Conference on Ocean Offshore and Arctic Engineering, 2012
    Co-Authors: Hezhen Yang, Wenqing Zheng
    Abstract:

    As the offshore industry continues to progress developments in deepwater, Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) offers great advantages over other risers. In order to provide the hang-off with sufficient stiffness, stress joint is used to connect the riser with platform. When stress joints are located at the top of a deep marine riser, it is greatly affected by both axial and bending stress due to great cyclic loading. So it is necessary to do some research on dynamic and local fatigue analyses for stress joint.In this work, global dynamic analysis for a SCR is performed firstly, then local boundary condition obtained from the previous analysis are applied to the stress joint FE model for time domain dynamic and multiaxial fatigue analysis. Results indicate that the stress level is far lower than yield limit of material and damage induced by fatigue needs more attention. Besides, the damage character of the two types of stress joints differs: for TSJ, the place where stress joint connects with riser is easy to occur fatigue damage; for SSJ, the most probable position is at the place where the end of inner Sleeve Pipe contacts with the riser body. Compared with SSJ, TSJ shows a higher stress level but better fatigue performance, and it will have a higher material cost. Considering various factors, designers should choose the most suitable type and also geometric parameters.Copyright © 2012 by ASME

  • Multiaxial fatigue analyses of stress joints for deepwater steel catenary risers
    Springer Chinese Ocean Engineering Society, 2012
    Co-Authors: Zheng Wenqing, Yang Hezhe, Li Qingqua
    Abstract:

    In the present study, the dynamic and fatigue characteristics of two types of stress joints are investigated under ocean environmental condition. Connected with the riser and the platform, stress joint at the vessel hang-off position should be one of the main critical design challenges for a steel catenary riser (SCR) in deepwater. When the riser is under a high pressure and deepwater working condition, the stress state for the joint is more complex, and the fatigue damage is easy to occur at this position. Stress joint discussed in this paper includes two types: Tapered Stress Joint (TSJ) and Sleeved Stress Joint (SSJ), and multiaxial fatigue analysis results are given for comparison. Global dynamic analysis for an SCR is performed first, and then the local boundary conditions obtained from the previous analysis are applied to the stress joint FE model for the later dynamic and multiaxial fatigue analysis. Results indicate that the stress level is far lower than the yield limit of material and the damage induced by fatigue needs more attention. Besides, the damage character of the two types of stress joints differs: for TSJ, the place where the stress joint connects with the riser is easy to occur fatigue damage; for SSJ, the most probable position is at the place where the end of the inner Sleeve Pipe contacts with the riser body.
