In this research, an evaluation method for the time-dependent corrosion depth of uncoated structural steel plates using an Fe/Ag galvanic couple atmospheric corrosion monitoring (ACM)-type sensor was proposed. This method was focused on environments with and without effects of rainfall and airborne sea salt. Atmospheric exposure tests were carried out on the uncoated carbon steel plates in four sites in which the environments varied widely as a function of rainfall and airborne sea salt. In addition to this, the corrosive environments of the skyward-and groundward-facing surfaces of the plates were monitored using the ACM sensors.

The purpose of this research is to propose a method for evaluating the time-dependent corrosion behavior of carbon steel plates using an atmospheric corrosion monitor (ACM) corrosion sensor consisting of a Fe/Ag-galvanic couple. Atmospheric exposure tests were carried out on steel plates for periods of 6, 12, and 24-months on the island of Okinawa in Japan. The Specimens were mounted on racks at angles of 0, 45 and 90 to the horizontal to obtain corrosion data in various corrosive environments. In addition, the environments of the skyward- and groundward-facing surfaces of the specimens were monitored using ACM sensors. The sensor outputs were recorded during the exposure tests.

In this study, a time-dependent corrosion depth estimation method using atmospheric corrosion monitor (ACM) sensor data to evaluate time-dependent corrosion behaviors is proposed. For the time-dependent corrosion depth estimation of uncoated carbon steel and weathering steel, acceleration corrosion tests were conducted in salt-spray corrosion environments and evaluated with a corrosion damage estimation method using ACM sensing data and corrosion loss data of the tested steel specimens. To estimate the time-dependent corrosion depth using corrosion current by an ACM sensor, the relationship between the mean corrosion depth calculated from the weight loss method and the corrosion current was evaluated. The mean corrosion depth was estimated by calculating the corrosion current and evaluating the relationship between the mean corrosion depth and corrosion current during the expected period. From the test and estimation results, the corrosion current demonstrated a good linear correlation with the mean corrosion depth of carbon steel and weathering. The calculated mean corrosion depth is nearly the same as that of the tested specimen, which can be well used to estimate corrosion rate for the uncoated carbon steel and weathering steel.

The uneven surface of the weld seam makes eddy current testing more susceptible to the lift-off effect of the probe. Therefore, the defect of carbon steel plate welds has always been a difficult problem in eddy current testing. This study aimed to design a new type of eddy current orthogonal axial probe and establish the finite element simulation model of the probe. The effect of the probe structure, coil turns, and coil size on the detection sensitivity was simulated. Further, a designed orthogonal axial probe was used to conduct a systematic experiment on the weld of carbon steel specimens, and the 0.2 mm width and 1 mm depth of weld defects of carbon steel plates were effectively detected. The experimental results showed that the new orthogonal axial eddy current probe effectively suppressed the unevenness effect of the weld surface on the lift-off effect during the detection process.

A new practical method to simulate time-dependent material properties of polyester mooring line is proposed. The time-dependent material properties of polyester rope are modeled with a standard linear solid (SLS) model, which is one of the simplest forms of a linear viscoelastic model. The viscoelastic model simulates most of the mechanical properties of polyester rope such as creep, strain-stress hysteresis and excitation period-dependent stiffness. The strain rate-stress relation of the SLS model has been re-formulated to a stretch-tension relation, which is more suitable for implementation into global performance and mooring analyses tools for floating platforms. The new model has been implemented to a time-domain global performance analysis software and applied to simulate motion of a spar platform with chain-polyester-chain mooring system. The new model provides accurate platform offset without any approximation on the mean environmental load and can simulate the transient effect due to the loss of a mooring line during storm conditions, which has not been possible to simulate using existing dual-stiffness models.
