Abstract
The paper presents a first approach to the structural health monitoring (SHM) system, dedicated to marine structures. The system under consideration is based on the fibre optic (FO) technique with Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors. The aim of this research is the recognition of possible practical applications of FO techniques in selected elements of marine structures. SHM and damage detection techniques have a great importance (economical, human safety and environment protection) in the wide range of marine structures, especially for ships and offshore platforms. The investigations reported in this paper have shown major potential for FBG sensors. They are suitable for strain–stress field and load monitoring of the wide range real structures used in different conditions. The FO sensor technology appears as very attractive in many practical applications of future SHM systems.
