Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Webinar | Application of Digital Twin for Structural Health Monitoring of Marine Structures, 23 May 2023
A marine environment is a harsh environment that requires extra care for marine structures due to fatigue loading, corrosive environment, etc. Otherwise, undesired consequences can occur which can cause human life losses, economic losses, or environmental pollution. To minimize such risks, it will be important to continuously monitor the health of marine structures by using sensors located at different parts of structures by establishing their “digital twin”, so that necessary actions can be taken before catastrophic consequences occur. There are various structural health monitoring approaches available for this purpose. In this webinar, a new methodology, known as the inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM), will be presented. The iFEM is fast and robust, which makes it suitable for real-time monitoring. Moreover, with this method it is not necessary to measure loading acting on the structure, which may not be an easy task under operational conditions. The iFEM has been utilized for different marine structure types and will be demonstrated as part of this webinar. In addition, the importance of the location and number of sensors will be highlighted.
While the iFEM is a useful technique for detecting damage in a structure, it is also important to predict how damages can evolve in the future. Prediction of fracture and failure is a challenging research area. There are various methods available for this purpose, including the well-known finite element (FE) method. The FE method is a powerful technique for the deformation and stress analysis of structures. However, it has various disadvantages in predicting failure due to its mathematical structure. In order to overcome this problem, a new computational technique known as peridynamics was introduced. Peridynamics is a meshless approach, and it is very suitable for predicting crack initiation and propagation in structures subjected to different types of loading and environmental conditions. In this webinar, various applications of peridynamics for marine structures will be demonstrated.
