Abstract
Offshore platform plays an important role in ocean strategy, and the construction of structural health monitoring (SHM) system could significantly improve the safety of the platform. In this paper, complete SHM system architecture design for offshore platform is presented, including the sensor subsystem, data reading and transferring subsystem, data administration subsystem, and assessment subsystem. First, the sensor subsystem is determined to include the structure information, component information, and vibration information monitoring of the offshore platform. Based on the monitoring target, three sensor types including incline sensor, acceleration sensor, and strain sensor are initially selected. Second, the assessment subsystem is determined to include safety monitoring and early warning evaluation using static measurements, overall performance evaluation based on frequency variation, and damage identification based on strain modal using strain monitoring. Overall performance evaluation based on frequency variation and damage identification based on Strain modal are illustrated. Finally, an offshore platform in the East China Sea is selected to establish a finite-element model to discuss the application and feasibility of the SHM system, the frequency variation due to scouring, corrosion, the growth of marine organisms, and temperature variation was investigated, and the overall performance of the platform was also evaluated. This work can provide a reference for installation and implementation of SHM system for offshore platform.
