Resumen
Waves have an important influence on the motion performances of offshore crane vessels. The floating crane vessel in waves gives rise to the motion of the lifted object which is connected to the hoisting wire. Based on the geometric parameters of a revolving offshore crane vessel, combined with the specific process of the floating crane vessel at work, a model of the offshore crane vessel under full-circle swing hoisting has been established by OrcaFlex. With the change in wave direction, the dynamic response of the system is made and the impact force between the support vessel and the hanging object and the tension of the crane wire under different wave directions is obtained. At the same time, the minimum impact forces between the support vessel and the hanging object and the tension of the crane wire and their wave directions are obtained. According to the calculated result, the optimal design of the full-circle swing hoisting operation of large revolving offshore crane vessel has been determined.
