Operational modal analysis on a lighthouse structure subjected to ice actions

The sea ice interaction with a structure may cause system changes and affect the feasibility of common approaches to track modal parameters. In this paper, a covariance-driven stochastic subspace identification method is used to identify the natural frequencies from 190 time series of ice actions against a lighthouse structure. The results...

Stochastic subspace identification of modal parameters during ice–structure interaction

Identifying the modal parameters of structures located in ice-infested waters may be challenging due to the interaction between the ice and structure. In this study, both simulated data from a state-of-the-art ice–structure interaction model and measured data of ice–structure interaction were both used in conjunction with a covariance-driven...
