考虑腐蚀与疲劳耦合损伤的海上风机支撑钢结构抗震性能分析

SEISMIC PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE SUPPORT STEEL STRUCTURE CONSIDERING CORROSION AND FATIGUE COUPLING DAMAGE

  • 摘要: 既有海上风机结构的腐蚀与疲劳耦合计算通常只考虑点蚀或均匀腐蚀对疲劳损伤的影响,较少关注腐蚀与疲劳的相互作用以及点蚀与均匀腐蚀共存的情景。这导致对结构剩余性能的估计和对腐蚀疲劳所致缺陷的分析均存在较大误差,而海上风机支撑结构多为高柔薄壁结构,对缺陷较为敏感,常发生因局部缺陷扩大而导致的局部屈曲失效。可见,对腐蚀疲劳效应的考虑不足会降低风机结构屈曲失效模式判别及地震风险评估的可靠性。该文为揭示海上风机支撑结构的灾变机理和倒塌风险演化规律,基于法拉第电化学定律和连续损伤力学原理建立了点蚀和均匀腐蚀损伤计算模型,并提出结构截面分割策略,考虑了疲劳荷载因方向性效应带来的疲劳损伤非一致性问题。基于多环境因素交互耦合损伤计算理论,计算海上风机结构的腐蚀与疲劳耦合损伤,分析耦合损伤对此类结构失效机理和倒塌风险的影响。结果表明:考虑耦合损伤后其屈曲失效模式由整体弯曲屈曲转向易发生倒塌破坏的局部屈曲,通过进一步量化该失效模式的地震倒塌风险,发现长期的耦合损伤会大幅提升结构的屈曲倒塌风险。

     

    Abstract: The coupled corrosion and fatigue calculations for existing offshore wind turbine structures usually only consider the effect of pitting or uniform corrosion on fatigue damage and, pay less attention to the interaction between corrosion and fatigue as well as the scenarios of coexistence of pitting and uniform corrosion, thusly leading to a large error in the estimation of residual performance of the structure and the analysis of corrosion and fatigue defects. Moreover, the offshore wind turbines are mostly highly flexible thin-walled structures that are sensitive to defects, and buckling failure often occurs due to the expansion of local defects. It shows that the insufficient consideration of the corrosion fatigue effect will reduce the reliability of the structural buckling failure mode identification and the seismic risk assessment. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the disaster mechanism and collapse risk evolution law of offshore wind turbine structures. Based on Faraday's law of electrochemistry and the principle of continuum damage mechanics, pitting corrosion and uniform corrosion damage calculation models were established. The structural cross-section division strategy is proposed to address the non-uniformity of fatigue damage caused by the directional effects of fatigue loading. Based on the interactive coupling damage calculation theory of multi-environmental factors, calculated is the corrosion and fatigue coupling damage of offshore wind turbine structure, and analyzed is the influence of coupling damage on the failure mechanism and collapse risk of the structure. The results show that the buckling failure mode changes from overall bending buckling to local buckling which is prone to collapse after considering the coupling damage. By further quantifying the seismic collapse risk of the failure mode, it is found that long-term coupling damage will greatly increase the buckling collapse risk of the structure.
