MHOP-BMSSP obtains the transmission time using the sound speed profile model and correct transmission time with bidirectionally multiplexing nodes flight time. On the other hand, MHOP-BMSSP utilizes hydroacoustic system connectivity to divide the communication radius based on node density, which reduces transmission energy consumption through multi-hop communication. Nodes are dynamically selected based on hop information and residual energy with different communication radii, while other nodes enter sleep. The selected nodes are used in a ranging model to obtain measurement values. Finally, the difference between observation and measurement values is used to adaptively adjust the measurement noise value of the Unscented Kalman Filter algorithm to complete the adaptive tracking of the nodes.

Wave load, particularly irregular wave load, significantly influences the structural response and ultimate strength of jacket-type offshore platforms (JTOPs) throughout their operational life. The dynamic nature of these irregular wave loads necessitates the use of advanced time history analysis to accurately capture their impact. This study aims to enhance the understanding of how foundation conditions impact failure modes and the structural response of JTOPs through an innovative incremental irregular wave dynamic analysis procedure. By focusing on an existing steel jacket-type platform in the Persian Gulf, this research evaluates six models with varying soil profiles and pile conditions to assess their effects on structural performance. The application of incremental irregular wave dynamic analysis provides a more precise and realistic modeling of wave impacts compared to traditional methods. The findings demonstrate that stronger soil profiles and improved pile conditions significantly enhance structural integrity, particularly under extreme loading conditions. Specifically, optimizing pile configurations is critical for enabling the structure to endure larger waves, whereas variations in the yield stress of steel material have a lesser impact on the platform's response. Additionally, the dynamic results are compared with pushover analysis, which serves as a benchmark to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the pushover analysis compared to incremental irregular wave analysis method used in this study.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19403,"journal":{"name":"Ocean Engineering","volume":"314 ","pages":"Article 119701"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142660327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
