Abstract:
A design method is presented, which aims at the optimal cross-sectional layout of the multilayer steel tube umbilical. The merit of the method is to improve the tension stiffness and the fatigue life of umbilical. An optimization model is developed for arranging each component layer of the layout by considering the symmetry of mechanical performances of components. Finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out to check the contact force and the radial deformation of different layout types and to confirm the optimal layout design.
