HEALTH MONITORING OF AN OFFSHORE PLATFORM IN THE PERSIAN GULF USING INVERSE VIBRATION TECHNIQUES

Offshore jacket-type structures are one of the most expensive and important infrastructures in the economy of countries with oil and gas resources. Environmentaloperating condition of these kinds of structures is severe, since the steel jacket is always subjected to destructive loads and excitations. Maintenance, optimal and longtime usage of such structures have been of particular interest over the last thirty years. Many researches have worked on structural health monitoring (SHM) of offshore platforms using vibration data within the last thirty years.
