This paper focuses on numerical investigations and derived formulation to evaluate the residual strength of tension leg platforms (TLPs) with the local denting damage under axial compression loading. The damage generation scenarios in this research are represented the collision accidents of offshore stiffened cylinders TLPs with supply ships or floating subjects. The finite element model is performed using a commercial software package ABAQUS, which has been validated against the experiments from the authors and other researchers. Case studies are then performed on design examples of LTPs when considering both intact and damaged conditions. Based on the rigorous numerical results, the new simple design formulations to predict residual strength of dented TLPs are derived through a regression study as the function of a non-dimensional dent depth. |
