Abstract
A system for monitoring a physical change of a marine structure includes a complex optical measuring instrument configured to detect a behavior and structural change of the marine structure by using at least one optical sensor by means of optical fiber Bragg grating.
Claims2
A system for monitoring a physical change of a marine structure, comprising:
- a complex optical measuring instrument configured to detect a behavior and structural change of the marine structure by using at least one optical sensor by means of optical fiber Bragg grating.
A method for fuel savings and safe operation by real-time predictive monitoring and predictive controlling of aerodynamic environmental internal or external force, hull stresses, 6 degrees of freedom (6-dof) movement and location of a marine structure, the method comprising:
- (1) accumulating data about an internal or external force applied to a marine structure by a gas flow out of the marine structure by means of a linear test in a water tank or a wind tunnel and data about a response of the marine structure according to the internal or external force to generate a look-up table, and storing the look-up table in a database;
- (2) measuring the internal or external force by using a time-of-flight method in an actual voyage of the marine structure and storing the internal or external force in the database;
- (3) comparing the measurement data of the internal or external force obtained in the step (2) with the data about the internal or external force accumulated in the look-up table in the step (1) to predict data about a response of the marine structure;
- and
- (4) controlling a posture or navigation path of the marine structure in real time by using the predicted data about a response of the marine structure.
