    Natural Frequency Variation of Modified Suction Caissons for Offshore Wind Turbines Under Cyclic Loading

    • 摘要: 裙式吸力基础在传统吸力基础的上部增加了一个直径更大,长度更短的“裙结构”,具有更高的承载力和控制位移的能力。裙式吸力基础服役期在长期循环荷载作用下,固有频率会产生变化,当固有频率与环境荷载频率重合时,将发生共振。开展模型试验和数值模拟,研究了循环荷载幅值、频率以及加载方式对裙式吸力基础固有频率的影响,分析了不同基础模型比尺下固有频率变化规律。结果表明,循环荷载作用下,吸力基础的固有频率随着循环次数的增加先增加后减小。裙式吸力基础固有频率峰值相较传统吸力基础固有频率分别降低0.44%, 1.36%以及7.5%。随着循环荷载幅值和循环荷载频率的增加,吸力基础固有频率峰值和最终值逐渐增加。单向循环加载的吸力基础固有频率峰值最大,双向对称循环接在的吸力基础固有频率峰值次之,双向非对称循环加载的吸力基础固有频率峰值最小。长期循环荷载作用下,裙式吸力基础固有频率变化幅度小于传统吸力基础。开展不同材质(钢制、铝制、丙烯材质)吸力基础模型试验,发现聚丙烯材质是 1-g 模型试验条件下研究吸力基础固有频率变化规律的优选材料,裙式吸力基础的固有频率峰值和最终值随着比尺的增加呈线性增长。研究结果可为实际工程海上风电裙式吸力基础固有频率设计提供理论参考。

       

      Abstract: The modified suction caisson incorporates a larger-diameter, shorter external structure at the top of the regular suction caisson, enhanced bearing capacity and displacement control ability. The natural frequency of the modified suction caisson varies under long-term cyclic loading in operation. Resonance occurs when the natural frequency coincides with the environmental load frequency. Model tests and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the effects of cyclic load amplitude, frequency, and loading pattern on the natural frequency of modified suction caissons. The variation of natural frequency under various foundation model scales was analyzed. The results indicate that under cyclic loading, the natural frequency of modified suction caissons initially increases and subsequently decreases as the number of cycles increases. Compared with the regular suction caisson, the peak natural frequency value of the modified suction caisson decreases by 0.44%, 1.36%, and 7.5%, respectively. The peak and final values of natural frequency gradually increase with increasing cyclic load amplitude and frequency. Unidirectional cyclic loading produces the maximum peak natural frequency, followed by bidirectional symmetric cyclic loading, and bidirectional asymmetric cyclic loading yields the minimum. Under long-term cyclic loading, the variation of natural frequency in modified suction caissons is smaller than that in regular suction caissons. Model tests were performed on suction caissons of different materials (steel, aluminum, and polypropylene). Polypropylene was identified as the optimal material for studying natural frequency variation patterns of suction caissons under 1-g model test conditions. The peak and final values of natural frequency of modified suction caissons exhibit a linear increase with scale. The research findings provide theoretical references for the natural frequency design of modified suction caissons in offshore wind power engineering applications.
