主 题:Ocean thermal energy conversion(OTEC) Seawater tank Stiffened panels Numerical analysis Combined loadings
摘 要:Ocean thermal energy conversion(OTEC)is a process of generating electricity by exploiting the temperature difference between warm surface seawater and cold deep *** to the high static and dynamic pressures that are caused by seawater circulation,the stiffened panel that constitutes a seawater tank may undergo a reduction in ultimate *** current paper investigates the design of stiffening systems for OTEC seawater tanks by examining the effects of stiffening parameters such as stiffener sizes and span-over-bay ratio for the applied combined loadings of lateral and transverse pressure by fluid motion and axial compression due to global bending *** ultimate strength calculation was conducted by using the non-linear finite element method via the commercial software known as *** stress and deformation distribution due to pressure loads was computed in the first step and then brought to the second step,in which the axial compression was *** effects of pressure on the ultimate strength of the stiffener were investigated for representative stiffened panels,and the significance of the stiffener parameters was assessed by using the sensitivity analysis *** a result,the ultimate strength was reduced by approximately 1.5%for the span-over-bay ratio of 3 and by 7%for the span-over-bay ratio of 6.
