Dyamic Istability of Taut Moorig Lies Subjected to Bi-frequecy Parametric Excitatio Aiju Wag, Uiversity of Strathclyde Hezhe Yag, State Key Laboratory of Ocea Egieerig, Shaghai Jiao Tog Uiversity Nigel Barltrop, Uiversity of Strathclyde Sha Huag, Uiversity of Strathclyde ABSTRACT Parametric excitatio or parametric resoace occurs whe the offshore structure system parameter varies with time ad meets a certai coditio. Moored structure durig the swell sea states causes the taut moorig lie tesio uctuatio which may iduce very large dyamic motio of moorig lies. I this work, the taut moorig lies subjected to bi-frequecy parametric excitatio are studied. The parametric excitatio equatio of moorig lies is derived. The Bubov- Galerki approach is employed to obtai stability chart whe cosider the bi-frequecy excitatio. The resposes of the moorig lies subjected to sigle- ad bi-frequecy excitatio are discussed. Keywords: dyamic istability; moorig lie; parametric excitatiomathieu; bi-frequecy 1. INTRODUCTION The dyamic istability is the oscillatory motio of dyamic system due to timedepedet variatio of structure parameters e.g. iertia or stiffess due to the ifluece of exterally applied force. Differet the forced excitatio, the parametric excitatio is oautoomous system. It ca have catastrophic effects o the structures. The study idicated parametric excitatio would cause very large icrease i lateral dyamic motio of moorig lies due to the variatio of axial tesio. (Röquist et al., 1). It is beeficial to avoid the moorig lie desig to locate i the ustable zoe. Recetly, some researchers have studied the dyamic istability due to parametric excitatio such as parametric rollig of ships, spar ad risers (Falzarao et. al 3, Yag et al. 15, ad Zhag et. al 1). However, previous work all focused o the sigle frequecy excitatio. Actually, the offshore structure is exposed to radom waves which are multi-frequecy excitatio. So, it is ecessary ad beeficial to study the taut moorig lies subjected to bi-frequecy parametric excitatio.. THEORY AND MATHEMATICAL MODEL The geeral dyamic equatio of Beroulli- Euler beam ca be expressed as follow. 4 y y y EI T m f ( x, t) (1) 4 x x t Where EI is the bedig stiffess, T is the axial tesio, m is mass per uit legth, f ( xt, ) is exteral force o the beam. For the moorig lies, the bedig stiffess ofte ca be eglected ad the axial tesio ca be expressed by T T TA () t () 93

The stability chart ca show the chage istability as the parameters are varied ad are very useful for the desig guidace. It ca be solved by Floquet theory or perturbatio method.

BI-FREQUENCY EXCITATION CASE For real sea coditios, the top ed of moorig lie is subjected to multi-frequecy excitatio from floatig motios i the radom waves. The parametric istability property of moorig lie has great effects o the safety of the desig case ad it ca cause the lateral motio expoetial icrease i the oscillatio. Here, the parametric istability due to bifrequecy excitatio is studied which is coducive to uderstad the mechaism of the dyamic istability. ycy a q(cos( ) dcos(4 ) y (9) The dyamic istability for the bifrequecy excitatio is obtaied by the Bubov-Galerki approach (Perdese, 198). Fig.3 shows the stability chart for the bifrequecy excitatio. It ca be see that the ustable zoe for the bi-frequecy excitatio is obviously differet from the sigle-frequecy excitatio. Fig.4 ad 5 give the stability charts for differet d =.5 ad -.5 respectively. The sig of d mea the differet phase betwee the two excitatios. The ustable zoe chages whe d turs ito egative ad the shape is also differet. It is iterestig to fid that the closed zoe exists.
