Abstract
The paper presents structural health monitoring (SHM) system, dedicated to marine structures. The considered system is based on the fibre optic technique with Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors. The aim of this research is recognition of possible practical applications of the fibre optic 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. In the paper monitoring system of the Horyzont II and Dar Młodzieży ships and offshore oil platform is presented. Practical implementation of safety system based on optical sensors meets several difficulties. There has been installed the FBG system and its measurement results have been compared with classical techniques, e.g. piezoelectric accelerometers. The investigations have been performed for undamaged and damaged structure. Different types of failures have been modelled and tested. Damage detection ability has been specifying on the base of static and dynamic structural characteristics.
