Description

Semi-cylindrical shell floating breakwater with multistage energy dissipation and vibration reduction and flexible anchoring system Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of ocean engineering. More particularly, the present invention relates to a semi-cylindrical hull floating breakwater with a multi-stage energy dissipating vibration damping and flexible mooring system. Background In recent years, a floating breakwater has been attracting attention as a marine structure that is suitable for a deep water environment and reduces the influence on the ecology of the seabed. The basic working principle is that a floating body floating on the water surface is used for obstructing wave propagation, and the motion of a water particle is interfered by the motion of the floating body, so that wave energy is consumed, and the purpose of wave dissipation is achieved. Compared with the traditional bottom-sitting breakwater, the floating structure has the advantages of strong adaptability to water depth change, low requirement on submarine geological conditions, convenient and movable construction, relatively small influence on hydrodynamic environment and ecology of sea areas and the like. However, in practical engineering application and long-term operation, the conventional floating breakwater still generally faces a plurality of technical problems which are not properly solved, and the full play of the performance and the improvement of the reliability are restricted. First, in terms of wave-absorbing performance, conventional floating breakwaters rely primarily on reflection of the above-water portion of the floating body and rigid body motions (e.g., heave and pitch) of the floating body as a whole under wave action to dissipate energy. The energy dissipation mechanism is single, has a certain effect on short-period waves, but has obviously reduced reduction efficiency on the waves with concentrated energy and longer period. The root cause is that wave energy is not uniformly distributed in the water body, but decays exponentially from the water surface to the water depth, and the traditional floating body structure is difficult to effectively intervene and dissipate the wave kinetic energy of the middle and lower water bodies. Therefore, the existing design often has the problems of narrow wave-absorbing frequency band and limited long wave energy-absorbing effect, and is difficult to meet the engineering requirements of open sea areas or environments needing to cope with complex wave spectrums. Second, dynamic response control of the structure under wave action is another significant challenge. The float is excited by continuous wave load and produces multiple degrees of freedom including heave (up and down motion), pitch (back and forth pitch) and roll (side to side). The overlarge movement amplitude can not only reduce the stability of the shield water area at the rear part and influence the poising condition, but also lead to stress concentration and easy fatigue of the connecting part of the structure, and the damage and even the destruction of the structure can be caused for a long time. The prior art generally focuses on inertial damping of motion by increasing the size or mass of the float, but this adds significantly to the amount of material and cost and is not effective in damping high frequency vibrations. On the premise of not obviously increasing dead weight and cost, the vibration caused by waves of the structure in multiple directions is effectively attenuated, and the vibration damping device is a continuously existing technical difficulty. Furthermore, the long-term reliability and viability of the mooring system is under serious test. As a key subsystem for fixing the position of the floating breakwater, the mooring system directly bears the dynamic environmental load transmitted from the floating body. Under the alternating action of wind, wave and current, especially in extreme sea conditions, the anchor chain bears great cyclic tension and impact load, fatigue damage and even fracture are very easy to occur, and the whole breakwater structure is caused to drift and lose effectiveness. Conventional mooring designs have focused on providing sufficient static mooring forces and lack a systematic solution for how to effectively cushion and dissipate dynamic impact loads acting on the chain. The anchor chain becomes a weak link in the floating breakwater system, and the fatigue life problem directly affects the operation safety and maintenance period of the integral structure. In addition, the problems are related to each other, and the difficulty of comprehensive solution is increased. For example, insufficient wave-absorbing efficiency means that more wave energy needs to be carried by the structure itself and its mooring system, exacerbating the structure vibrations and chain loads, while excessive structure movement can adversely affect the stability of the wave-absorbin
