A system for measuring mechanical stresses in a vessel hull

Sensors of the stressed state of hulls and systems that gather and process information from those sensors play a special role in the monitoring of the strength of vessel structures. Magnetoelastic transducers are the type of sensors that are most suitable for this purpose. This study is devoted to the development of a system for monitoring the stressed state of a vessel hull that meets the modern requirements of norms and rules regarding the monitoring of the stressed state of a vessel hull. The proposed monitoring system incorporates a unit for digital processing of signals and mandatory recording of the measurement process. The system was developed taking into account marine conditions; issues of technical maintenance and the cost of the proposed project were also considered. Options for the use of the mathematical regression method in monitoring of stresses in hull structures of vessels are analyzed. Approaches to the development of the system for monitoring stresses in hulls are outlined.
