Thousands of miles of pipelines crisscrossing the Gulf of Mexico seafloor are the veins for the offshore oil and gas industry in the U.S. and the world. Leaks and ruptures in those pipelines lead to not only enormous economic loss but also environmental disasters. The goal of this project is to effectively monitor the subsea infrastructure such as offshore pipelines, and efficiently deliver the sensed information for subsequent control and action. To provide a viable solution, this project will integrate piezoelectric transducer designs, acoustic communications, stress wave communications (SWC), and hybrid networking, and conduct experiments and field tests to validate the proposed designs. Such a vision needs efforts from both engineering and scientific perspectives, and the success of the proposed transformative research will significantly improve the design, analysis and implementation of subsea infrastructure monitoring and data transmission systems. The research outcomes will potentially contribute to a future subsea Internet of Things and ocean big data systems, and have impact on offshore oil and gas industry, pollution control, ocean agriculture, disaster rescue, etc. The project will also provide special interdisciplinary training opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate students, particularly women and minority students, across multiple institutions through both research work and related courses.This project aims to develop an effective subsea infrastructure health monitoring, and efficient information delivery network design via five synergistic thrusts: (1) structural health monitoring, which will employ Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) transducers to perform integrated structural health monitoring of pipelines, including impact, leakage, and damage detection, and explore how to send the detected damage information via SWC; (2) SWC channel modeling, which will conduct model analysis and simulation of SWC traveling along a fluid-filled pipeline in the subsea environment, and characterize SWC channels in a complicated pipeline network; (3) adaptive time reversal acoustic communications, which will characterize the acoustic communication channel in high frequency bands of 80-200 kilohertz for short range transmissions in the ocean and develop new adaptive communication receivers and strategies based on time reversal processing; (4) hybrid subsea network development, which will develop a hybrid subsea wireless network to integrate traditional acoustic communications and SWC depending on the subsea infrastructure, and study the hybrid network performance from multiple perspectives; (5) integrated experimental validation, which will conduct a series of lab and at-sea field tests on campus and at industrial/academic collaborators' sites to verify the proposed designs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

数千英里的管道纵横交错墨西哥海湾是美国和世界的海上石油和天然气行业的静脉。这些管道中的泄漏和破裂不仅会导致巨大的经济损失，而且导致环境灾难。该项目的目的是有效地监视海外基础架构（例如离岸管道），并有效地传递感知的信息以进行后续控制和行动。为了提供可行的解决方案，该项目将集成压电传感器设计，声波通信，压力波通信（SWC）和混合网络，并进行实验和现场测试以验证拟议的设计。这种愿景需要从工程和科学角度进行的努力，拟议的变革性研究的成功将显着改善海底基础架构监测和数据传输系统的设计，分析和实施。研究成果将有可能为未来的物联网和海洋大数据系统贡献，并影响近海石油和天然气行业，污染控制，海洋农业，灾难救援等。该项目还将为毕业生和不足的学生，尤其是通过研究工作和关联的多个机构提供特殊的妇女和少数机构，以提供特殊的培训机会。通过五个协同推力进行有效的信息输送网络设计：（1）结构性健康监测，该结构健康监测将采用锆石钛酸盐（PZT）换能器执行管道的集成结构健康监测，包括影响，泄漏和损害检测，并探索如何通过SWC发送检测到的损害信息； （2）SWC通道建模，将对海底环境中沿流体填充管道行驶的SWC进行模型分析和模拟，并在复杂的管道网络中表征SWC通道； （3）自适应时间逆转声音通信，该通信将以80-200千霍兹的高频带中的声学通道来表征海洋中的短距离传播，并根据时间反向处理开发新的自适应通信接收器和策略； （4）混合海底网络开发将开发混合海底无线网络，以根据海底基础架构整合传统的声学通信和SWC，并从多个角度研究混合网络性能； （5）集成的实验验证，该验证将在校园和工业/学术合作者的网站上进行一系列实验室和AT-SEA现场测试，以验证拟议的设计。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
