Kinematics and Dynamics Analysis of the Lifting System of a Welding and Tube-Transferring Car for Deepwater Pipe-Laying Vessels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tube-transferring car is a key part of transportation system for deepwater pipe-laying vessels. This paper covers the design of a tube-transferring car for deep sea pipe-laying, especially its lifting mechanism. Kinematics and dynamics analysis of the lifting mechanism is conducted. During dynamic analysis and calculation, the single degree of freedom mechanical system dynamic analysis method is used. The results show that the rotation angle of the lifting system has a direct impact on the lifting speed and driving force. The support reaction force in each kinematic pair which is calculated by choosing the single degree of freedom dynamics provides a theoretical basis for the design of the lifting mechanism, which is finally reflected in the selection of horizontal drive of the feeding machine and the related parameter design.
