Force Analysis of the Anchor Chains and the Cable in the Crane-System with a Floating Base in Regular Waves

Abstract:

In order to analyze the force of the anchor chains and the cable in the crane-system with a floating base, firstly the system is simplified to two-rigid-body model and the anchor chains in the system are in symmetric layout; then the motion response of the system as well as the force of the anchor chains and the cable are solved by use of discrete time transfer matrix method, lastly the time history curves of motion of the system and the force of the anchor chains and the cable are obtained. The results of numerical simulation show that the roll motion has greater influences on the system comparing with sway and heave, the amplitudes of sway and heave are small. Furthermore, the force of the anchor chains are mainly caused by the roll motion while the force caused by sway and heave are relatively small.
