Effects of vibration absorbers on the lifting pipe in deep-sea mining have been attracting more and more attention in the recent three decades; however, there are very few reports about the influence of ocean current on the pipe vibration in the literature. Considering the geometrical features of the prototype, this paper establishes the physical model, mathematical model, and simulation model of the lifting subsystem. A comprehensive finite element model for the deep-sea mining system by the OrcaFlex is developed to explore the influences of buffer mass and sailing velocity on the deflection angle and the axial load and stress of the lifting pipe. Analytical and numerical simulations have been formulated to illustrate variation rule of longitudinal vibration and axial stress at the position of pump and buffer for the lifting subsystem to determine the dynamic vibration absorber parameters. In this paper, MATLAB and Orcaflex software are used to verify the mathematical model. The simulation results show that the attaching DVAs can effectively reduce the axial stress, and longitudinal displacement at certain positions of the lifting pipe.

Maximum Axial Stress

In order to reduce the maximum axial stress produced in the pipe string for mining manganese nodules from deep-sea floors by a pump-lift system, the string is assumed to be a two-stepped pipe string with larger diameter in the upper part. Moreover, a buffer and two pump-modules attached to the string are assumed to be equipped with a vibration absorber. Then, the longitudinal vibration and axial stress caused in the string by the heave-motion of the mining ship are analyzed theoretically for practical cases. The result shows that the maximum axial stress in the optimum stepped pipe-string with the buffer having the optimum vibration absorber is found to be smaller by about 42 percent than the one produced in the uniform pipe string with the same mass and no vibration absorbers.

To ensure the safety and the production efficiency as well as the component lifetime of deep-sea mining system, a novel heave compensation system of deep-sea mining based on dynamic vibration absorber was proposed in the light of 5000m deep sea poly-metallic mining system of China in this paper. According to the work condition of heave compensation system, the response of deep-sea mining ship under random wave of sea state 4 in China’s deep sea poly-metallic mining field are numerically simulated in time domain. The proposed heave compensation system was simplified to a two-degree-of-freedom system stimulated by the displacement motion of the deep-sea mining ship and its dynamic model was built. Taking the minimum of the displacement variance of the proposed heave compensation system as the optimal object and considering the allowed displacement of the dynamic vibration absorber itself, the computation formula of the optimum parameters of dynamic vibration absorber for heave compensation system of deep-sea mining is derived. Thus the parameter of dynamic vibration absorber was determined and its effect on the performance index of the heave compensation system was simulated and compared. The dynamic vibration absorber with optimum parameters was simulated and tested on the test bench of double-storey mass-spring vibration system in the lab. The results of the example show that the performance of vibration control of the designed dynamic vibration absorber is satisfactory and the computational formulas given in the paper are effective. The results also verified that the heave compensator based on dynamic vibration absorber with the optimal parameters can have good performance of heave compensation and it is practical to isolate the lifting pipeline and its deployment platform from the vibration of the ship motion induced by the irregular wave with simplicity and less energy consumption. This work in the paper will be of great theoretical guidance in the optimum design of the dynamic vibration absorber for heave compensation system of deep-sea mining.

In this paper, the dynamic model of the rigid space stepped-pipe strings system is derived with Lagrangian method to represent the system dynamic behaviors which enriches the analysis method of longitudinal vibration of stepped-pipe strings. The stepped-pipe strings is constructed of pipes with different diameters and lengths, the physical properties of which mainly depends on the axial force and the depth of deep-sea mining. Based on lumped element method, the heave compensation system with dynamic vibration absorber is designed for longitudinal vibration suppression of the stepped-pipe strings. The analytical solution is obtained by modal analysis method when the mining ship is subjected to sea breeze excitation. The proposed method is easily implementable for rigid space stepped-pipe strings system with complex multi-degree-of-free deep-sea mining dynamic model. Furthermore, the optimal combination of mass ratio, spring coefficient and damping ratio is shown to have a better vibration suppression performance. Finally, numerical simulations on the stepped-pipe strings system with or without dynamic vibration absorbers are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This work presents an extensive analysis of the properties of distributed vibration absorbers (DVAs) and their effectiveness in controlling the sound radiation from the base structure. The DVA acts as a distributed mass absorber consisting of a thin metal sheet covering a layer of acoustic foam (porous media) that behaves like a distributed spring-mass-damper system. To assess the effectiveness of these DVAs in controlling the vibration of the base structures (plate) a detailed finite elements model has been developed for the DVA and base plate structure. The foam was modeled as a poroelastic media using 8 node hexahedral elements. The structural (plate) domain was modeled using 16 degree of freedom plate elements. Each of the finite element models have been validated by comparing the numerical results with the available analytical and experimental results. These component models were combined to model the DVA. Preliminary experiments conducted on the DVAs have shown an excellent agreement between the results obtained from the numerical model of the DVA and from the experiments. The component models and the DVA model were then combined into a larger FE model comprised of a base plate with the DVA treatment on its surface. The results from the simulation of this numerical model have shown that there has been a significant reduction in the vibration levels of the base plate due to DVA treatment on it. It has been shown from this work that the inclusion of the DVAs on the base plate reduces their vibration response and therefore the radiated noise. Moreover, the detailed development of the finite element model for the foam has provided us with the capability to analyze the physics behind the behavior of the distributed vibration absorbers (DVAs) and to develop more optimized designs for the same.

Two tasks in which subjects aim at an array of devices were considered: moving to one knob within an array and moving the finger on a numeric keypad. It was shown by a mathematical model based on Fitts' law, that when the array density is specified for the array of knobs or keys, there is an optimum control size for minimum movement time. The theoretical result was obtained by considering a two-element model of the movement, the first being a reach to the general location of the control and the second describing the insertion of the fingers into the space between adjacent controls. As the first element has a movement time that decreases with increase of control size and the second a time increasing with control size, there is an optimum control size where the movement time is a minimum.

Japan Deep Sea Technology Association had carried out concept design of the mining system for seafloor hydro-thermal deposit from 2008 through 2009. Through this concept design, the economic evaluation of the system with parameter of annual production of the ore was discussed, and it was clarified that more than 500 thousand tons annually would enable us to get positive balance. The environmental effect by mining was also discussed and was concluded that the active hydrothermal vents are not the targets of mining, instead, the dead vents are the targets. Then, the technological feasibility of each subsystem was discussed which constitutes the mining system, from the digger to the surface transporter. Finally, it was concluded that the mining system for hydrothermal deposits is feasible using the state-of-the-art technology even in rough sea around Japan.

The dynamic vibration absorbers have been applied to attenuate the rotor unbalance and torsional vibrations. The major purpose of this paper is to research the elimination of the fluid-induced vibration in the rotor/seal system using the absorber. The simplified rotor model with the absorber is established, and the Muszynska fluid force model is employed for the nonlinear seal force. The numerical method is used for the solutions of the nonlinear differential equations. The nonlinear responses of the rotor/seal system without and with the absorber are obtained, and then the rotating speed ranges by which the fluid-induced instability can be eliminated completely and partially are presented, respectively. The absorber parameters ranges by which the instability vibration can be eliminated completely and partially are obtained. The results show that the natural frequency vibration due to the fluid-induced instability in the rotor/seal system can be eliminated efficiently using the absorber. The appropriate natural frequency and damping ratio of the absorber can extend the complete elimination region of the instability vibration and postpone the occurrence of the instability vibration.

The Mathematical Model

The sheave installation method (SIM) is an effective and non-conventional method to solve the installation of subsea equipment in deep water (>1000m), which has been developed to deploy the 175t Roncador Manifold I into 1,885 meters water depth in 2002. With the weight increment of subsea cluster manifold, how to solve its installation with the high reliability in the deep sea is still a great challenge. In this paper, the installation of the 300t subsea cluster manifold using the SIM is studied in the two-dimensional coordinate system. The mathematical model is established and the lumped mass method is used to calculate the hydrodynamic forces of the wireropes. Taking into account the complex environment loads, the numerical simulation of the lowering process is carried out by OrcaFlex. The displacement and vibration of the subsea cluster manifold in the z-axis direction and the effective tension at the top of the wireropes can be gotten, which can provide guidance for the installation of the cluster manifold in the South China Sea.
