Aprašymas

Advances in Offshore Structural Engineering: AI Design, Vibration Control, and FRP Retrofit Solutions brings together three cutting-edge research studies addressing the evolving challenges in offshore platform design, safety, and structural enhancement. The first chapter explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into offshore structural engineering. It highlights how AI-based modeling, optimization, and decision-making tools can improve design efficiency, enhance safety, and reduce lifecycle costs. From conceptual design to structural health monitoring, AI is shown as a transformative force for offshore projects. The second chapter focuses on vibration mitigation caused by rotating equipment on offshore platforms. These dynamic forces can lead to fatigue, operational issues, and reduced service life. The chapter presents advanced retrofit strategies-such as structural bracing and damping systems-to control vibration levels and ensure continued platform integrity. The third chapter discusses the application of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites in retrofitting offshore structures. FRP offers advantages like high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation. Design approaches, long-term performance, and sustainability benefits are covered, providing a strong case for FRP in harsh marine environments. This book serves as a vital reference for engineers, project managers, and researchers in the oil and gas industry. Whether involved in new designs or upgrades of aging infrastructure, readers will gain valuable insight into applying modern tools and materials to improve safety, performance, and sustainability in offshore structural systems.
