Analysis and Research on Longitudinal Vibration Characteristics of Deep Sea Mining Pipe Based on Finite Element Method

Abstract EN

This paper aimed to study the longitudinal vibration characteristics of the 5000 m mining pipe in the ocean under different working wind conditions, offset angle, damping, and ore bin weight.

Based on the finite element method, the mining pipe is simplified into beam element and discretized, and the physical and mathematical models of the mining pipe system are established.

The Wilson-θ direct integral method is adopted for numerical calculation.

The results show that the longitudinal vibration of the mining pipe is irregular, which presents the phenomenon of oscillation.

The vibration amplitude decreases first and then increases from top to bottom, the minimum vibration amplitude appears at 1000 m, and the maximum vibration amplitude appears at the top of the mining pipe.

Under the same working wind condition, the overall longitudinal vibration amplitude of the mining pipe can be increased by increasing the ore bin weight and the offset angle, but neither of them can change the frequency of the longitudinal vibration.

The closer the excitation frequency generated by different working wind conditions is to the natural frequency, the larger the mining pipe longitudinal vibration amplitude is.

The closer the vibration frequency generated by the same excitation frequency is to the natural frequency, the stronger the vibration intensity is, and when damping is added, the vibration intensity decreases faster.
