Abstract

Disclosed is a deepwater platform welded joint testing system. The testing system comprises a host unit, a hydraulic unit and a control unit, wherein the control unit is connected with the host unit and the hydraulic unit respectively; the host unit comprises a bearing frame placed on a bearing base, biaxial tension/compression loading oil cylinders mounted on the bearing frame, a lateral force resistant mechanism connected to the front ends of the biaxial tension/compression loading oil cylinders, counter-force supports fixed to the top end of the bearing frame and biaxial bending loading oil cylinders mounted on the counter-force supports. According to the deepwater platform welded joint testing system, through the independent or synergistic effect of the six loading oil cylinders, stretching and fatigue performance tests of a large complex structure under uniaxial tension/compression, uniaxial bending, biaxial tension/compression, biaxial bending and uniaxial/biaxial tension/compression and bending composite loads can be achieved.
