Abstract Various types of controlling mechanisms have
been investigated to decrease vibrations of different structures,
and in many cases, the reliability has been increased
with respect to conventional methods of structural optimization.
Among them, using passive viscous damper is one of
the useful methods to control structure response due to environmental
loads. Hence, in this study, the effect of viscous
damper on vibration control of jacket platform (case study
oil platform SPD2 and Resalat) exposed to wave loads is
investigated, and with the sea state, long-term performance
of damper to reduce the structural response is introduced
for the first time the more suitable than the responses in an
especial case. To keep up this purpose, the platform is modeled
by finite element method, and wave spectra are radiated
to it. Spectral analysis is adopted to investigate the structural
response of the jacket platform equipped with viscous
dampers, and also, conventional arrangements of dampers
are analyzed to acquire optimal one. Then, the economically
optimal arrangement of damper is determined. The novelty of
this paper is that the results based on the sea states recorded
in the long term help one find the optimal arrangement of
damper.
