1. GENERAL
PETRONAS Carigali Vietnam Limited (PCVL), is currently operating the Ruby Field which
is located in Block 01 and 02 PSC, 155km east of Vung Tau, offshore Vietnam with a
water depth of 48 m. Currently the existing facilities comprise of Ruby-A wellhead platform
(RBDP-A), Ruby-B Wellhead Platform (RBDP-B) and FPSO Ruby Princess.
PCVL intends to increase production by undertaking the Pearl, Topaz and Diamond
platforms development. The existing FPSO, Ruby Princess design life is exhausted and it
will be disconnected and replaced with a newly converted FPSO linked to the new
wellhead platform via new pipeline and risers.
PCVL has contracted the Joint Venture of MISC Berhad (herein after called MISC) and
Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group Petroleum Technical Services Corporation (herein
after called PTSC) to supply, operate and maintenance of a Floating, Production, Storage
and Offloading (FPSO) facility.

2. DESIGN DATA
2.1 DESIGN LOAD
2.1.1 Static Analysis
The following line tensions, obtained for extreme conditions, are derived from Ref. [1]
tables 9.4.2.1 & 9.4.3.1.
Intact case: 3944kN
Damage case (one line broken): 6293kN
Transient case (one line broken): 6458kN
2.1.2 Fatigue Analysis
The stress range due to variations of tension and the maximum stress range due to
frictions will be added for each T-T variation cycles.
The fatigue calculation is performed for a design life of 10 years and three cases will be
considered separately:
• (T-T): fatigue stress due to variations of tension

• (LC1-LC2): fatigue stress due to transverse component of tension
• (LC3-LC4): fatigue stress due to friction torque (pitch bushes)
Ref. [1] gives the double amplitude line tension long-term distribution for 10 years lifetime
for fatigue case T-T.
For the calculation of the stresses due to the torque friction and to the transverse
component of tension, a permanent load equal to the pretension (976kN) has been
considered.
2.2 MATERIALS
The chain stopper is made of the following materials:
- Chain Stopper Body & Ratchet Carbon Steel Casting: 90-60 Ref. [4]
σyield = 415MPa
- Bushings & washers CIP 251 (composite plastic) Ref. [2]

σc = 93MPa (static compressive stress limit
parallel to the laminate)
- Chainstopper pipe Carbon Steel Gr. 36 I Ref. [5]

σyield = 345MPa
CALCULATION
SO17710 CM M 86 503 V1 PAGE 8
2.3 ALLOWABLE STRESSES
2.3.1 Static Analysis
Ref.[i] chapter 5, section 1, table 1 gives, for allowable stresses, the following Safety
Factor SF:
Case SF
Intact 1.67
Damaged 1.25
Transient 1.05
with
σallowable = σy / SF
NOTE
Being Fdamaged case > 1.67/1.25 x Fintact case > 1.05/1.25 x FTransient case ⇒ The
damaged case is the governing one.
According to Ref. [iii] §A5.12, the allowable stress for cylindrical bearing surfaces is
σallowable = σy x 3.3 / γm (γm = 1.15)
Hence the following allowable stresses have been considered for the strength check:
For the ratchet (in the zone in contact with the chain) σallowable = 415 x 3.3 / 1.15 = 1191 MPa
For the chain stopper body & ratchet σallowable = 415 / 1.25 = 332 MPa
For the chainstopper pipe σallowable = 345 / 1.25 = 276 MPa
For the bushings and washers: σcompressive strength = 93 MPa
2.3.2 Fatigue Analysis
The chain stopper location area is non accessible for inspection and repair, therefore the
calculated cumulated damage shall be lower than the allowable Miner’s number of 0.1.
CALCULATION
SO17710 CM M 86 503 V1 PAGE 9
3. CHAIN STOPPER DESIGN
The analysis of the chain stopper is achieved by mean of finite elements model using
ANSYS Workbench 10.0 analysis software.
3.1 MODEL DESCRIPTION
The chain stopper has been modeled using solid elements with mid-side nodes.
Rough contacts for CIP251 bushing interfaces have been adopted for model stability
purposes. This assumption is reasonable because the model is at equilibrium before
sliding (friction torque is not overcome), so contacts can be considered rough.
Zone of contact Type of contact

Bush to chain stopper body Rough
Bush to bush housing Bonded
Washer to chain stopper body Rough
Washer to bush housing Bonded
ratchet to chain stopper body (metal-metal) Frictional (µ = 0.25)
In Ansys, the contacts are defined as follow:

• Bonded contact defines two “glued” faces: no sliding or separation between faces
is allowed.
• Rough contact defines infinite friction coefficient and acts only in zone working in
compression (contact pressure): no sliding is allowed.
F.E. models and results are presented in Appendix A (static) and Appendix B (fatigue).
Models have been stored in the following directory:

Calculation\1-Ansys
3.2 LOADING CONDITIONS
3.2.1 Design loads
As noted on section 2.3.1, only the damaged loading condition has been studied as it is
the governing case.
Pressure has been applied at the ratchet / first chain link interface in order to obtain a
reaction force equivalent to axial load.
In order to take into account the vessel motions in extreme conditions, a 5deg angle has
been considered to derive transverse component induced by damaged loads, (the break-
out torque angle derived from Ref. [1] is 1.05 deg).
So Faxial = 6293 x cos (5) = 6271 kN

Ftransverse = 6293 x sin (5) = 546.5 kN
The transverse load is applied at the second link in contact with the chainstopper pipe.
CALCULATION
SO17710 CM M 86 503 V1 PAGE 10
The load required to overcome the friction torque generated on the bushes induces
stresses at the connection between chainstopper pipe and chain stopper body casting.
For the dimensioning load case (damaged case), the rotating force due to friction of the
CIP251 bushings has been applied at the lower part of the chainstopper pipe (see
appendix A).
M torque F⋅µ ⋅R 6293 ⋅ 0.09 ⋅ 245

Ffriction = = = = 82.1 kN
L L 1690
Where,
Mtorque = Friction torque generated by the pitch bushes

F = Maximum force = damaged condition (6293 kN)
µ = Friction coefficient at bushes location (µ = 0.09 see Appendix D)
R = bush inner radius (245 mm)
L = distance between the pitch rotation axis and contact point between
chainstopper pipe and chain conservatively taken at 1690mm.
3.2.2 Fatigue loads
The following load case has been considered for fatigue analysis due to tension only:
CASE Ftension (kN) Ftransverse (kN) F friction (kN)
T-T 976 0 0
Pressure has been applied at the ratchet / first chain link interface in order to obtain a
reaction force equivalent to pretension load of 976kN.
The following load cases have been considered in order to take in account the fatigue due
to the transverse component and to the friction torques generated on the bushings for
pretension load of 976kN:
CASE Ftension (kN) Ftransverse (kN) F friction (kN)

(1)
LC1 976 + 34 0
(1)
LC2 976 - 34 0
(2)
LC3 976 0 + 12.7
(2)
LC4 976 0 - 12.7
In order to take into account the vessel motions in operating conditions, a 2deg angle has
been considered to derive transverse component induced by damaged loads, (the break-
out torque angle derived from Ref. [1] is 1.05 deg).

The areas closed to the load application points have been disregarded due to
unrealistic peak loads.
3.3.2 Results of Fatigue conditions
Fatigue damages are calculated, in accordance with Ref. [ii], for a fatigue life of 10 years.
According with Ref. [ii], Section 1, the cumulated fatigue damage number has to be less
than maximum allowable Miner’s number:

η= FDF: Fatigue Design Factor

For “Non-accessible areas, areas not planned to be accessible for inspection and repair
during operation”:
1 1
η= = = 0.1
FDF 10
The double amplitude line tension long-term distribution used for the fatigue case T-T is
derived from Ref. [1] and shown in Appendix C.
The cumulated damage for the fatigue case T-T is calculated by means of the Excel
spreadsheets given in Appendix C.
Conservatively, for each cycle, the maximum stress ranges due to the transverse
component of the pretension and to the friction around pitch axis are added to the stress
range due to the tension variation:
∆σ tot , i = ∆σ TT ,i + ∆σ transverse,i + ∆σ friction , i
The cumulated damages for the fatigue due to the friction forces are calculated as:
ni
∑N ≤ η = 0.1 Ref. [ii]
i i
Where
ni total number of stress cycles (Ref[1]) for the block i.
Ni number of cycles to failure at constant stress range ∆σi:

The stress range ∆σ for FEM is calculated as:
∆σ transverse = σ PrLCin1 stress − σ PrLCin2stress Fatigue due the transverse component of the
pretension
∆σ friction = σ PrLCin3 stress − σ PrLCin4stress Fatigue due the friction torque generated by the
pitch bushings
Note: Ftension have been applied for LC1 [Roll+], LC2 [Roll-], LC3 [Pitch+], LC4 [Pitch-] but
calculating ∆ implies that contribution of Ftension becomes zero.
SN-Curve C in air is applied for all casting bodies.

SN-Curve F2 in air is applied for the welding between the chainstopper pipe and the chain
stopper body.
Summary of output plots for fatigue analysis are presented in Appendix B.

area (i.e. area where ∆σtransverse is max) has been considered. At 90° location of the max
alternative stress induced by ∆Ffriction the stress is equal or close to 0MPa.
