Hybrid FEM–Kalman Digital Twin for Damage Detection and Remaining Useful Life Prediction of Offshore Jacket Platforms

Offshore water jacket structures in oil/gas production and wind energy face continuous wave-induced fatigue, corrosion, and degradation. Conventional inspection methods detect only 35% of cracks <10mm with 4.2-month detection lag, costing $2.5M annually per platform (73% mobilization). This research develops a validate...
