By installing inclinometers, accelerometers, strain gauges, temperature sensors and pressure gauges, the mechanical state of the riser can be monitored and analyzed in real-time. The mechanical state may be influenced by local forces and bending moments, vibration, curvature, inclinations, accelerations and velocities on any axis. The combination and distribution of various sensors can be optimized to give a better estimation of any mechanical property of interest. Through the implementation of a proper combinations of sensors, we can assess loads and calculate the accumulated fatigue damage and load history of near all structural elements in a riser or other mechanical structure.
