Despite their advantages, these mooring lines present challenges in inspection due to their exterior jacket, which prevents visual assessment. The current study focuses on vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) in FOWT synthetic mooring lines under uncertainty arising from varying Environmental and Operational Conditions (EOCs). Six damage detection methods are assessed, utilizing either multiple models or a single functional model. The methods are based on Vector Autoregressive (VAR) or Transmittance Function Autoregressive with exogenous input (TF-ARX) models. All methods are evaluated through a Monte Carlo study involving 1100 simulations, utilizing acceleration signals generated from a finite element model of the OO-Star Wind Floater Semi 10 MW wind turbine. With signals from only two measuring positions, the methods demonstrate excellent results, detecting the stiffness reduction of a mooring line at levels 10% through 50%. The methods are also tested for healthy cases, with those utilizing TF-ARX models achieving zero false alarms, even for EOCs not encountered in the training data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24020543","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]],"date-time":"2024-01-15T11:15:01Z","timestamp":1705317301000},"page":"543","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Vibration-Based SHM in the Synthetic Mooring Lines of the Semisubmersible OO-Star Wind Floater under Varying Environmental and Operational Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4634-7598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikolas P.","family":"Anastasiadis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Research Centre, Technology Department, Jon Lilletuns vei 9 H, 3. et, 4879 Grimstad, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7211-4520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christos S.","family":"Sakaris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Research Centre, Technology Department, Jon Lilletuns vei 9 H, 3. et, 4879 Grimstad, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0730-845X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rune","family":"Schlanbusch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Research Centre, Technology Department, Jon Lilletuns vei 9 H, 3. et, 4879 Grimstad, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3027-8284","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John S.","family":"Sakellariou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautic, University of Patras, 26504 Patras, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2023, August 25).
