Abstract

Considering wind speed uncertainty, reliability analysis of the LNG unloading arm at Tongyoung Production Site was performed. Extreme distribution of wind speed was estimated from the data collected at the weather center and wind load was calculated using wind velocities and coefficients of wind pressure. The unloading arm was modeled with plate and solid elements. Contact elements were used to describe the interface between base of structure andground. Response surface for maximum effective stress was found for reliability analysis and then reliability functions was defined and used to determine exceeding probability of allowable and yield stresses. In addition, sensitivity analysis was also performed to estimate the effect of possible material deterioration in the future.

풍속의 확률분포를 고려한 통영생산기지 LNG 하역설비인 Unloading arm의 신뢰성해석을 수행하였다. 기상대의 풍속 관측기록을 이용하여 풍속의 극치분포를 추정하였으며 구조물에 가해지는 풍하중은 풍속과 풍압계수를 적용한 분포하중으로 고려하였다. 하역설비는 판요소와 입체요소를 이용하여 모델링하였고 지면접촉부는 접촉요소를 이용하여 압축력에만 저항하도록 하였다. 신뢰성해석을 위해서 주요부위의 최대응력을 표현하는 응답면을 구하였으며 이 값이 허용응력 및 항복응력을 초과하는지의 여부를 신뢰함수로 정의하여 파괴확률을 구하였다. 또한, 재료강도의 저하가 파괴확률에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 민감도 분석을 수행하였다.
