Numerical Study of Topology Optimization of Jacket Platform: A Review

Topology optimization of Offshore Platform is a mathematical method that
optimizes material layout of the offshore platform within a given design space, for a
given set of loads, boundary conditions and constraints with the goal of maximizing
the performance of the platform and to optimize the capital cost of the platform. In this
paper, the optimization of the offshore platform is compared between researcher’s
paper article to know into details of the principle used and the methodology for the
optimization. The highlight of the optimization is on the structural of the offshore
platform and the topside of the platform. Aside for those, the technology being used
would also affect on the optimization for the platform. The industry has been imposing
new technology and better design as time goes by. However, this latest upgrade would
still be based on the previous research that have been done on the similar subject. Thus,
by reviewing several research papers, we could obtain the findings that could be used
to propose numerically for the topology optimization process.
