Abstract:Damage identification in ship structures is traditionally performed through on-site inspections. In this work, a first step is made towards assessing an in-line with operation ship hull Structural Health Monitoring system by registering onboard sensor data. Specifically, an optimization-based approach is proposed for solving the inverse problem for damage identification through processing static response data. Idealized geometry and loading conditions are considered for the deck and shell plating. Damage is ab… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
