Resumen

This study investigates the vertical-type submerged floating tunnel with anchor cables. Based on the characteristics of the anchor cables, the anchor cables are simplified as a nonlinear beam model with hinged ends. Disregarding the axial displacement of the tunnel body, the loads will cause displacements in the x and z directions of the tunnel body. The vibrations of the anchor cables are decomposed into three directions, and the parameter excitation at the connection point between the anchor cables and the tunnel body is taken into account. The equations of motion for the three degrees of freedom of the anchor cables are established using Hamilton?s principle, and then the three equations are solved using the Galerkin method and the fourth-order Runge?Kutta method. The basic characteristics of an internal wave stratified flow acting on the anchor cables are considered, as well as the influence of the incident angle of the ocean currents on the three degrees of freedom of the anchor cables. The results indicate that (1) stratified flow weakens the first- and third-order vortex-induced vibrations of the anchor cables while enhancing the second-order vortex-induced vibrations. When considering the parameter excitation of the anchor cables, the first- and third-order vibrations are weakened, while the second-order vibration remains significant; (2) the first-order vibration of the anchor cables reaches its maximum value when the transverse oscillation frequency of the tunnel body is twice its natural frequency, and the second-order vibration of the anchor cables reaches its maximum value when the transverse oscillation frequency of the tunnel body is twice its natural frequency; (3) the downstream vibration of the anchor cables increases with the increase in the incident angle of the ocean currents, the cross-flow vibration of the anchor cables decreases with the increase in the incident angle of the ocean currents, and the axial vibration of the anchor cables reaches its maximum value when the incident angle of the ocean currents is 60 degrees; (4) stratified flow weakens the lock-in phenomenon of the anchor cables, and the influence of the 1/2 stratified flow on the vibrations of the anchor cables is greater than the influence of the 1/2 stratified flow.
