摘要: 针对非粘结柔性管在深海采矿服役中的健康监测需求,研究了光纤传感器与柔性管的集成工艺方案. 通过设计三种集成工艺(芳纶绳及传感器缠绕、预浸带内置传感器、内衬层开槽置入传感器),结合有限元模拟分析了不同工艺参数对传感器及柔性管力学性能的影响. 仿真结果表明:在芳纶绳缠绕工艺中,张紧力与缠绕角度对传感器伸长率和内衬层应力影响较小,均低于材料极限;预浸带内置方案中,张紧力及缠绕角度的变化未显著影响传感器性能;而内衬层开槽方案,在60 MPa爆破内压载荷下,传感器伸长率超过其极限值,存在失效风险. 结合集成工艺难易程度综合评估表明,芳纶绳缠绕工艺兼具低应力、高可靠性及工艺简便性,为最优选择. 研究结果为深海采矿非粘结柔性管内传感器集成提供了理论依据与工艺优化策略.Abstract: Based on the health monitoring requirements for unbonded flexible pipes in deep-sea mining operations, the integration process schemes for optical fiber sensors with flexible pipes were investigated. Three integration processes (the aramid fiber rope and sensor winding, the pre-impregnated tape with embedded sensors, and the lining grooving for sensor placement) were designed, and the effects of different process parameters on mechanical performances of sensors and flexible pipe structures werw analyzed through finite element simulations. Simulation results indicate that, in the aramid fiber rope winding process, variations of the tension force and the winding angle minimally affect sensor elongation rates and inner liner layer stresses, both below material limits. For the pre-impregnated tape embedding scheme, changes of the tension force and the winding angle do not significantly compromise the sensor performances. For the lining grooving solution, under an internal burst pressure load of 60 MPa, the sensor elongation rate exceeds its limit, posing a risk of failure. A comprehensive evaluation demonstrates that, the aramid fiber rope winding process offers low stress, high reliability, and process simplicity, making it the optimal choice. This research provides a theoretical foundation and a process optimization strategy for sensor integration of deep-sea flexible pipes.

methods advantage and disadvantage of the plan overall consideration method Ⅰ: sensor and aramid ropes winding processing low stress and high safety; mature manufacturing equipment and simple process flow; the sensor is well protected; but the consistency between the aramid rope and the sensor winding needs to be controlled to some extent considering the difficulty of structural design and processing technology, method Ⅰ is suggested method Ⅱ: the sensor is embedded in a pre-impregnated tape and wrapped for processing strong structural integrity and excellent corrosion resistance; high precision requirements for winding; however, the preparation of prepreg is complex and costly; high requirements for process control method Ⅲ: groove the lining and embed the sensor inside the groove the sensor is close to the inner wall, with high monitoring sensitivity; however, stress concentration is significant under ultimate load; difficult to control processing accuracy; leakage and structural safety hazards exist -
