RESUMEN

The study investigated the use of a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) technique applied in model ice experiments to enable the analysis of offshore structures with low natural frequencies under dynamic ice loading. Traditional approaches were limited by facility capacities and ineffective downscaling of the geometry of the offshore structures. The goal of the present study was to overcome these challenges and to enhance the understanding and explore the applicability of a hybrid testing technique in model ice experiments. To achieve the objective, 204 Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations in model Ice (HiLI) were analyzed. Results showed robust behavior and good performance of the HiLI due to minimal variation in measured delay, normalized root mean square error, and peak tracking error and low magnitudes of such parameters despite alterations in factors such as the choice of the numerical structural model, physical prototype, measurement system, and ice type. Notably, the performance of the HiLI was affected when testing with warm model ice or scaling for harsh ice conditions, attributed to a reduced signal-to-noise ratio and instability of the system, respectively. Experimental identification of the critical delay, along with the application of an analytical stability criterion, revealed that the instability observed, was likely induced by reducing the structural stiffness of the numerical structural model to fulfil the scaling requirements when testing for harsh ice conditions. Additionally, the study showed improved HiLI performance when the physical prototype was in contact with the model ice. This observation was further analyzed and is assumed to be caused by the coupling between the ice and physical prototype, causing a coupled and thus increased eigenfrequency of the physical prototype-ice system.
