Background:

  • Real-time health monitoring is crucial for large marine structures like drilling platforms, pipelines, dams, and ship hulls.
  • Optical Fiber Sensors (OFS) present significant advantages including small size, flexibility, durability, anti-electromagnetic interference, and high transmission rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review three types of Optical Fiber Sensors (OFS) for marine structural health monitoring (SHM).
  • To analyze the applicability, operating principles, and characteristics of each OFS type.
  • To discuss the merits, demerits, challenges, and future developments in OFS for marine SHM.

Main Methods:

  • Review of point sensing, quasi-distributed sensing, and distributed sensing OFS technologies.
  • Analysis of operational principles and sensor characteristics.
  • Comparative discussion of different sensing schemes.

Main Results:

  • Each OFS type (point, quasi-distributed, distributed) exhibits unique applicability for marine SHM.
  • Key advantages and disadvantages of various OFS schemes were identified.
  • Current challenges and future research directions were highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • Optical Fiber Sensors are a promising technology for marine structural health monitoring.
  • Further development is needed to overcome existing challenges and enhance OFS capabilities in marine environments.
  • The review provides insights into selecting appropriate OFS for diverse marine structural monitoring needs.
