RISK- AND UTILITY-INFORMED OPTIMUM DECISION MAKING FOR NAVAL SHIP STRUCTURES INTEGRATING INSPECTIONS, SHM, TIME-VARIANT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, AND PROBABILISTIC CONSEQUENCES: A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK
Abstract
The main objective of the proposed study is to develop a comprehensive framework for risk- and utility-informed optimum decision making for naval ship structures integrating inspections, structural health monitoring (SHM), timevariant system performance, and probabilistic consequences. This project will advance both the state-of-the-art and state-of-practice in equipping naval vessels with a near real-time optimum decision making system to support operational and maintenance decisions for rapid response to various events. The use of risk, utility, optimization, and system performance theories coupled with SHM is considered a paramount innovation. Only such a complete risk- and utility-informed optimization framework can be a truly useful tool for decision makers.
