Local Joint Flexibilities
•
In the FE model it is assumed that chords
and braces are connected by rigid joints
 over-estimation of system stiffness!
•
This has an influence on:
– Structural dynamics
– Fatigue (due to the distribution of
member forces)

Local Joint Flexibilities

•
Parameterized formulae acc. Buitrago et al.
(e.g. in DNV OS-J101)
Modeling of LJF using flex-elements:
Beam Elements
“Rigid link”
“Flex Element”
Stiffness properties
determined by parameterized formulae

Local Joint Flexibilities - Outlook
Sub-structuring approach:
• Use detailed models needed for fatigue
analysis
Beam Elements
Superelement: K, M, C
18 DOF in the example
(6 per masternode)
•
•
•
Advantage: use of existing detail
models allows integrated workflow
in the design
More accurate than simplified
approach
Arbitrary joint geometries possible
(e.g. Tripod)
