Structural Health Monitoring of Offshore Structures

This book presents concepts, methods and techniques to examine symptoms of faults and failures of structures, systems and components and to monitor functional performance and structural integrity. The book is organized in five parts. Part A introduces the scope and application of technical diagnostics and gives a comprehensive overview of the physics of failure.

Mechanics of Structures and Materials: Advancements and Challenges is a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the 24th Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM24, Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, 6-9 December 2016).

This book publishes contributions of the 1st Olympiad in Engineering Science (OES 2023), an international congress and contest aiming to disseminate and evaluate the recent advances in Engineering Science. The book is divided in several parts. In 'Materials Science,' readers delve into nanostructural correlations in thermochromic VO2 thin films for smart windows, as well as microstructural observations of super duplex stainless steel. The 'Marine Technology' part explores riverbed scour, wave reflection, and innovative nature-based solutions for coastal protection. 'Additive Manufacturing and Welding Technology' delves into studies on carbon fiber-reinforced polymers and fatigue properties of 3D-printed specimens. 'Structural Integrity and Structural Health Monitoring' offers insights into offshore pipeline fatigue life prediction and risk-informed decision-making for existing structures.
