Motivation
• Biofouling or marine growth is found to influence loading of offshore structures by increasing tube diameters, drag coefficient, mass and hydrodynamic added mass and structural weight.
• Biofouling or marine growth obstruct service and inspection of offshore structures.

Motivation - continuedObjective 2.1: Cognitive Systems and Robotics
Target outcomesa) Robotic systems operating in real-world environments: Expanding and improving the functionalities of robotic systems and further developing relevant features, such as autonomy, safety, robustness, efficiency, and ease of use. As appropriate, work will include exploring ways of integrating, in robotic systems, new materials and advanced sensor, actuator, effector and leading edge memory and control technologies.
Expected impact
• Integrated and consolidated scientific foundations for engineering cognitive systems under a variety of physical instantiations.
• Significant increase in the quality of service of such systems and of their sustainability in terms of, for instance, energy consumption, usability and serviceability, through the integration of cognitive capabilities.
• Innovation capacity in a wide range of application domains through the integration of cognitive capabilities.
• Improved competitive position of the robotics industry in existing and emerging markets for instance in the following sectors: manufacturing; professional and domestic services; assistance and co-working, production, logistics and transport, construction, maintenance and repair, search and rescue, exploration and inspection, systems monitoring and control, consumer robotics, education and entertainment.
• Consensus by industry on the need (or not) for particular standards. More widely accepted benchmarks. Strengthened links between industry and academia.

Residual stress are built-in or introduced (typically during manufacturing) to an unloaded part.
Residual stresses can be the cause of crack initiation and, therefore, fatigue failure
Source: ASM International
Example: rotary dryer. Welding lifters to a rotary shell
Residual stresses introduced during welding caused crack initiation

Characterization of Fatigue
• Fatigue - a distinct failure mode:• Apparently brittle even in ductile materials• Sudden and catastrophic• Result of initiation and propagation of a crack• Fatigue is failure due to time-varying stresses

Fatigue failure
• Fatigue failures more common than static• Due to multiple loadings of material• Always begins at crack• Occurs in three stages
• Crack initiation• Crack propagation• Fracture

Problem description:
• Biofouling/marine growth is an accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, and/or animals on wet or wetted surfaces.
46
Marine growth can increase the radius of a windturbinefoundation upto 25cm. This results in:
- Inspection is made difficult, i.e. fatigue, corrosion- Loads are increased, i.e. hydrodynamics forces- Corrosion is increasedResulting in:- Increased costs of systems production- Increased costs of maintenance/operation- Increased costs of inspection

BIOFOULING
Need: Biofouling causes an increase of loads on an offshore windturbine, i.e. increased costs.
Problem: Can an offshore structure be kept free of biofouling using an AUV system?

Issues to be solved:
• Deployment – How do we put/install the system in the water?• Buoyancy – How do we design a buoyancy system without affecting the
hydrodynamics of the vehicle/vessel?• Docking – How do we supply the vehicle/vessel with energy during operation?• Propulsion – How do we design the propulsion system to allow minimum use of
power and to maximize maneuvering?• Frame - How do we design a frame without affecting the hydrodynamics of the
vehicle/vessel?• Manipulator – How do we design a system which allows us to hook on/off the
offshore structure and remove/clean biofouling with a minimum use of power?• Control – How do we navigate between several offshore structures, how do we
navigate into the docking unit and dock/undock, how do we operate the cleaning process?
