Abstract

Offshore Structures supply vessels during operation are at risk of collision. The ship has random load, including offshore structures resistance is raised. In this paper, under the impact of a wind turbine offshore supply vessel with 5 different mass displacements are analyzed. Structural study examined the environmental conditions intermediate depth ocean water using ABAQUS finite element model of the software. The effects of static preload weight of turbine blades and environmental loads (wind, wave, sea current and the water pressure on the turbines) before hitting the ship dynamics, in terms of the structural behavior. Parameters such as power and momentum of support, around the turbine horizontal displacement, stress and strain Von-Mises different parts of turbines in different loading conditions (change in mass displacement of picky float) compared together and the results are discussed.
