Abstract
We demonstrate the results of a project on implementing a complete and practical multipurpose monitoring system for icebreakers. We describe the basic principles of operating the developed monitoring system. We present a 3D finite element analysis of the ship model to optimise the sensor arrangement. We also present the benchmarks and test results of the system during an expedition on the Russian scientific research vessel Akademik Tryoshnikov .
Highlights
The development of solutions for the structural health monitoring of complex objects such as buildings, bridges, and ships is a challenging problem [1]
Note that obtaining accurate data regarding ship structural health is key for route planning optimisation
The above monitoring system was installed on the Russian scientific diesel-electric research vessel Akademik Tryoshnikov
Summary
The development of solutions for the structural health monitoring of complex objects such as buildings, bridges, and ships is a challenging problem [1]. It has been the subject of active study for the last several decades [2]-[5]. Light Structures AS (Norway), SENSFIB project, monitors the ship hull in real time. A number of technologies under active development, such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) [3] and wireless sensor networks [4], have attracted interest as a basis for monitoring systems. 5) For Russian companies it is more rapid and comfortable communication with the developer in case of foreign implementer
