Estimation of fatigue crack initiation and growth in engineering product development using a digital twin approach

Damage identification of offshore jacket platforms in a digital twin framework considering optimal sensor placement

“…Initially, 12 candidate sensor locations with No. 2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14,15 are selected and shown in Fig. 6.…”

“…To protect the offshore wind structures, it is necessary to monitor their health conditions in real-time [5] and identify the damage at the early stage. Recently, the Digital twin (DT) technique [6][7][8] provides a promising solution for structural health monitoring (SHM). The DT is able to mirror model (called a DT virtual model) to simulate the dynamics of the physical unit in real-time [9][10][11] to implement the SHM.…”
