Abstract

Ultimate axial strength of longitudinally stiffened cylindrical steel shells for wind turbine tower was investigated by applying the geometrically and materially nonlinear finite element method. The effects of radius to thickness ratio of shell, shape and amplitude of initial imperfections, area ratio between effective shell and stiffener, and stiffener spacing on the ultimate axial strength of cylindrical shells were analyzed. The ultimate axial strengths of stiffened cylindrical shells by FEA were compared with design buckling strengths specified in DNV-RP-C202. The shell buckling modes obtained from a linear elastic bifurcation FE analysis as well as the weld depression during fabrication specified in Eurocode 3 were introduced in the nonlinear FE analysis as initial geometric imperfections. The radius to thickness ratio of cylindrical shell models was selected to be in the range of 50 to 200. The longitudinal stiffeners were designed according to DNV-RP-C202 to prevent the lateral torsional buckling and local buckling of stiffeners.

풍력발전 타워용 종방향 보강 원형단면 강재 쉘에 대하여 재료 및 기하학적 비선형 유한요소법(GMNIA)으로 극한압축강도 해석을 수행하였다. 보강 쉘의 반경 대 두께비, 초기변형 형상 및 진폭, 종방향보강재의 면적 및 간격 등의 주요 설계 파라미터가 압축력을 받는 보강 쉘의 극한강도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, DNV 설계기준에 의한 설계좌굴강도와 유한요소해석으로 구한 극한압축강도를 비교하였다. 기하학적 초기결함의 형상은 선형 좌굴해석으로부터 구한 좌굴모드 및 제작 과정에서 용접으로 발생하는 딤플 변형을 고려하였다. 해석 대상 보강 쉘의 반경 대 두께비는 50~200이며, 종방향보강재는 횡비틀림좌굴과 국부좌굴이 발생하지 않도록 DNV 설계기준에 따라 두께와 돌출폭을 결정하였다.
