Strength analysis of rotor sail support structures
In order to ensure the application safety of wind assisted rotor sails,it is necessary to systematically explore and study their strength evaluation.This article is based on the finite element analysis method to conduct a direct strength as-sessment analysis of the wind assisted rotor sail support structure suitable for a 50 000 t bulk carrier.This paper first intro-duces the establishment of a finite element model,boundary setting,load calculation,and load cases selection of the wind as-sisted rotor sail.Then,yield strength analysis and buckling strength evaluation were conducted on the foundation,inner tower,and installation base of the wind assisted rotor sail under normal operation and severe storm conditions.The results in-dicate that the support structure strength of the wind assisted rotor sail meets the requirements of the rules.
