Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Fatigue Crack Growth in Mooring Chains

Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Fatigue Crack Growth in Mooring Chains

Offshore installations are subject to perpetual fatigue loading and are usually very hard to inspect. Close visual inspection from the turret is usually too hazardous for divers and is not possible with remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) because of the limited access. Conventional nondestructive tech...
