Abstract Offshore steel structures are a common investment in oil and gas industries operating in shallow to medium depth seas. These structures have become increasingly popular since the mid-19th century, with a typical design life of 30-50 years. Despite their popularity, the structural integrity of existing offshore structures remains a controversial topic. Environmental loads and material degradation have been identified as significant factors that can compromise the structural integrity of offshore structures. To address this issue, this study aims to investigate the reserved strength capacity of a selected offshore structure located in the Malaysian Seas. The study will explore the effect… More >

Abstract This paper proposed a new diagnosis model for the stator inter-turn short circuit fault in synchronous generators. Different from the past methods focused on the current or voltage signals to diagnose the electrical fault, the stator vibration signal analysis based on ACMD (adaptive chirp mode decomposition) and DEO3S (demodulation energy operator of symmetrical differencing) was adopted to extract the fault feature. Firstly, FT (Fourier transform) is applied to the vibration signal to obtain the instantaneous frequency, and PE (permutation entropy) is calculated to select the proper weighting coefficients. Then, the signal is decomposed by ACMD, with the instantaneous frequency and… More >

Abstract In this paper, the construction process of a cable-stayed bridge with corrugated steel webs was monitored. Moreover, the end performance of the bridge was verified by load test. Owing to the consideration of the bridge structure safety, it is necessary to monitor the main girder deflection, stress, construction error and safety state during construction. Furthermore, to verify whether the bridge can meet the design requirements, the static and dynamic load tests are carried out after the completion of the bridge. The results of construction monitoring show that the stress state of the structure during construction is basically consistent with the… More >

Abstract Viscoelastic damper is an effective passive damping device, which can reduce the seismic response of the structure by increasing the damping and dissipating the vibration energy of structures. It has a wide application prospect in actual structural vibration control because of simple device and economical material. In view of the poor seismic behaviors of assembled frame structure connections, various energy dissipation devices are proposed to improve the seismic performance. The finite element numerical analysis method is adopted to analyze relevant energy dissipation structural parameters. The response spectrum of a 7-story assembled frame structure combined the ordinary steel support, ordinary viscoelastic… More >
