Abstract

Offshore structures, functioning in harsh and extreme environmental conditions, may experience structural damages that can be challenging to reliably identify with conventional methods, especially if the damages do not correspond to a permanent change in the modal properties. In this study, a state-of-the-art Kalman Filter (KF) framework aided by a Finite Element (FE) analysis is employed for nonlinear state estimation and, consequently, structural damage identification of an offshore steel jacket structure subjected to unknown extreme wave loads. The outcome of this approach enables the estimation of the nonlinear structural response that, in turn, allows the localization and quantification of the damage.
