Analysis of the Maximum Penetration Force and Corresponding Depth of the Hall Anchor Dropping into Seabed
According to the vertical dropping of Hall anchor in still water,the influence of anchor mass,contact velocity,seabed soil strength and soil particle size on the peak penetration force and corresponding penetration depth were investigated through theoretical analysis and physical test.The results showed that the peak penetration force and corresponding penetration depth have a quadratic function relationship with the anchor mass and ground contact velocity,and an exponential function rela-tionship with the seabed soil particle size.The formulas to calculate the peak penetration force and corresponding penetration depth of the Hall anchor were proposed,which can provide technical support to the design and protection of underwater struc-tures.
