Nonlinear dynamic analysis model for jack-ups under extreme storm condition

A finite element model for calculating the nonlinear dynamic response of Jack-ups under extreme storm conditions was proposed. This model is based on the non-linearity between soil and piles, in consideration of dynamic sensitivity and load randomness of wave loading. The computational efficiency can be improved with this model. In this model, the random wave was described by the constrained New Wave theory and the interaction between pile and soil was simulated by means of several nonlinear springs. In addition, the whole platform structure was simplified using a three-dimension finite element model. The steps of dynamic analysis on Jack-ups under storm condition were illustrated with an applied case. The structural response results of the Jack-ups obtained with two foundation models (nonlinear spring model and pin model) were compared and analyzed. It is proven that the extreme response of Jack-ups under extreme storm condition obeys the log-normal distribution, and the computational model can meet the demands of both complexity and the efficiency. So this model can provide a necessary condition for the future research on dynamic reliability of Jack-ups.
