The microscale mechanisms underlying the suction anchor–sandy soil interaction under slidable pulling actions of mooring lines remain poorly understood. This technical note addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the suction anchor–sandy soil interaction from micro to macro, with a particular emphasis on the effect of interface friction. The discrete element method (DEM) was utilized to simulate the sandy soil, while the finite element method (FEM) was employed to model the suction anchors. The peak pulling forces in numerical simulations were verified by centrifuge test results. The research findings highlight the significant influence of interface friction on the pulling force–displacement curves, as it affects the patterns of suction anchor–sandy soil interactions. Furthermore, clear relationships were established between the magnitude of interface friction, rotation angle, and pullout displacement of suction anchors. By examining the macro-to-micro behaviors of suction anchor–sandy soil interactions, this study concludes with a comprehensive understanding of failure patterns and their key characteristics under different interface friction conditions. The findings proved that the interface friction not only influences the anti-pullout capacity but also changes the failure patterns of suction anchor–soil interactions in marine engineering. |
