Abstract

A measurement campaign at the Hanko-1 channel marker in the Gulf of Finland is planned in order to monitor the forces leading to ice-induced vibrations by means of force identification. It is planned to identify the ice forces using a joint input-state estimation algorithm in conjunction with a modally reduced order model. The methodology is presented together with a finite element model and a detailed analysis that determines the optimal sensor network. The novel approach used to determine the optimal response measurement types and locations ensures the identifiability of the dynamic ice forces from only a limited number of sensors and a selection of vibration modes. The optimal sensor locations are discussed in view of specific challenges posed by the arctic environment.
