Concern for the structural assessment of ship and offshore structures during operations, including unmanned operations. The focus shall be on methodologies translating monitoring and inspection data into operational and life-cycle management advice, with associated criteria for decision making . This shall include diagnosis and prognosis of structural health, prevention of structural degradation and failures, and structural renewal and reuse. The research and development in passive, latent and active systems including their sensors and actuators shall be addressed. Special attention is to be given to structural digital twin technology and methods including reduced order analysis, inverse modelling, and AI technology application, combined with the use of monitoring systems and inspection data , to provide real-time advice for safe operation during the structural life-cycle.
