Review on structural health monitoring of offshore platform

Abstract

The structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage detection of offshore platforms, one of the most common marine structures operating in a hostile environment, have gained global attention in recent years. This paper presents a review of vibration-based damage identification methods used for SHM of offshore platforms. The application and progress of these methods are discussed and some case studies are analyzed. The challenges and future work for vibration-based damage identification are summarized.
