Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide appropriate methodology to ensure the safety and integrity of the production riser in offshore structure. In order to select integrity estimation methodology for production riser, level I and II Non-destructive Damage Evaluation (NDE) methods that were applied to existing structures are classified and reviewed. Numerical analysis is performed to verify the applicability and capability on damage detection of reviewed methods. As a result, the damage detection methodology using modal strain energy is more sensitive in detection of the damage than other methods. In practice, the number of sensors is limited due to the environmental and financial conditions. The impact on damage detection performance by reducing the number of sensors is systematically investigated through a series of numerical analyses and the results are discussed. The optimal number of sensor for the integrity estimation of production riser is recommended.

이 연구의 목적은 건전성 평가 기법을 통해 해양 구조물 중 생산 라이저의 건전성 및 안전성을 확보할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 생산 라이저의 건전성 평가 기법을 선정하기 위해서 레벨 I, II의 비파괴 손상평가(NDE) 기법을 분류 및 검토하였다. 그리고 수치해석을 통해 검토한 기법의 손상 탐지 성능 및 적용성을 확인하였다. 그 결과 모달 변형 에너지를 이용한 손상탐지 기법이 다른 기법들에 비해 가장 손상에 대해 민감한 결과를 나타냈다. 실제 구조물에서 모니터링 시스템을 적용하는 경우 환경적, 경제적 요인들에 의해 센서 개수는 제한적이다. 센서 수의 감소함에 따른 손상탐지 성능에 대한 영향을 일련의 수치해석 과정을 통해 분석하고 그 결과를 논의하였으며, 생산 라이저의 건전성 평가에 대한 최적 센서 개수를 추천하였다.
