Modal Parameter Identification of Jacket-Type Platforms Using Vibration Testing Data

Article Preview

Abstract:

How to estimate the modal parameters (including natural frequencies and mode shapes) of an offshore platform accurately is crucial for the health monitoring problems. The purpose of this paper is to identify the modal parameters of a physical jacket-type platform model from measured modal testing data using Prony’s method. In the modal testing, the identified false modes are unavoidable and bring much difficulty to determine the accurate modal parameters. To solve these problems, in this paper, the Modal Phase Collinearity (MPC) and Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) are applied to distinguish the true and false modal. The measured data are extracted from a physical model of a realistic offshore platform. And the results demonstrate that the modal parameters of the first two modes of each direction can be accurately estimated by using the proposed method.
