| Abstract | Dynamically penetrating anchors (DPAs) are a recent type of mooring technology that have been shown to provide a cost-effective alternative to other forms of anchoring system in deep waters. This paper reports the results from a series of model tests undertaken to provide insight into the behavior of DPAs during dynamic installation and monotonic pull-out in normally consolidated clay and calcareous silt. The tests were carried out in a drum centrifuge at 200 g, varying the drop height and hence the terminal velocity. The pull-out angle at the mudline was also varied to encompass various mooring systems. This paper also reports the results from finite element (FE) analyses simulating dynamic installation of anchors. The 3D large deformation FE (LDFE) analyses were carried out using the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) approach in the commercial FE package Abaqus/Explicit. A parametric study was undertaken, exploring a range of anchor geometry in terms of diameter, tip angle and number and length of fins; impact velocity and soil strength. For dynamic installation, two interesting aspects of the soil flow mechanisms were identified: (a) downward soil movement, concentrating around the advancing anchor, being reduced gradually with reducing penetration velocity and more rapidly with increasing number of fins and anchor projected area; (b) mobilisation of end bearing mechanism at the base of the anchor as well as fins, with the latter reduced significantly for shorter fins. The depth of anchor penetration increased as the drop height (and terminal velocity) increases and the soil strength decreases. For static pull-out, the mooring angle at the mudline influenced the pull-out mechanism and the capacity significantly. The anchor rotation and hence the anchor displacement required for attaining maximum capacity reduced as the angle increases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
