Active Control of Offshore Steel Jacket Platforms

Offshore platforms are subjected to environmental loading, which can lead to deck facility failure and platform fatigue failure. This book provides an overview of passive, semi-active, and active control schemes to suppress vibration and discusses recent advances in active systems with optimal, sliding model, delayed feedback, and network-based control. It is intended for readers interested in vibration control and ocean engineering.

Offshore platforms are extensively employed for the exploration, drilling, production, storage, and transportation of ocean resources, often facing environmental loading that can result in deck facility failure and platform fatigue failure, inefficient operation, and even crew discomfort. To guarantee the reliability and safety of offshore platforms, it is crucial to explore effective strategies for suppressing the vibration of these structures. This book offers a concise introduction to passive, semi-active, and active control schemes for mitigating the vibration of offshore platforms. It then delves into comprehensive and systematic discussions of recent advancements in active systems, encompassing optimal, sliding model, delayed feedback, and network-based control. Designed for readers with an interest in vibration control and ocean engineering, this book is particularly valuable for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of system and control, vibration control, ocean engineering, as well as electrical and electronic engineering.
