... realised and results between both methods have been compared. Finally, the fatigue life, in operational condition, has been evaluated with the recent fatigue methodology, based on a ply-by-ply approach, developed by Bureau Veritas. Several design optimisations including glass fibres plies have also been...

... Abstract This paper presents a method of assessing fatigue life due to slamming on the structural components inside drillship moonpools with a recess. The effect of free surface deformation in the moonpool, the resulting slamming pressure on the moonpool’s bulkheads, and the resulting stresses...

... Abstract The effect of out-of-plane bending (OPB) on the fatigue life of moorings has been the focus of extensive study over the last 15 years. Classification societies now require it to be considered in mooring chain fatigue life calculations. A fatigue analysis of the mooring for a North Sea...

... Abstract Fatigue life calculation of slender marine structures, such as risers and mooring lines, usually requires a high computational cost. This cost comes from using finite element-based numerical models to predict the stress response of such structures under the action of many fatigue...

... Abstract Thermal cut edges can be found in most maritime structures, e.g. in window openings or hatch corners on ships. It is very common to treat free plate edges by grinding or sandblasting due to fatigue and coating requirements. The aim of this study is to review the fatigue behavior...

... Abstract For an installed submarine power cable, fatigue is one of the main causes of failure. For static power cables there are cases such as free spans, spans between touch-down point (TDP) and J/I-Tube bell mouth and repair/sea joint procedures that may lead to failure due to fatigue...

... tension and concern over fatigue performance. This paper aims to search for the global optimal solution of a riser system through the application of genetic algorithm (GA) and finite element analysis. The process method will, in turn, automate the design process, with the implementation of an optimisation...

... Abstract Large bolts are used in applications which are subjected to fatigue loads, such as the M72 bolts used in ring flanges of wind turbine towers. Pretension is used as a means of protecting bolts against fatigue loading. Design standards require particular levels of pretension...

... Abstract DNV is currently running a Joint Industry Project, “NorMoor JIP”, which is now approaching the end of phase 3. In this phase the fatigue limit state (FLS) of mooring line studless chains for permanent units has got the main attention. Phases 1 and 2 covered the ultimate (ULS...

... Abstract Steel wire ropes can be used as mooring lines for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines. Swell induces tension and bending in the line. Investigating the effects of combined loads on rope lifetime is necessary. In these cases, fretting-fatigue damage is considered to be one of the main...

... system to achieve optimum performance. Associated safety risks may be high and one of the damage modes of concern is structural fatigue. Fatigue accumulation may be driven by ship motions and wind gusts. The paper describes the process of how a pragmatic design formula has been derived to find a gust...

... Abstract It is very-well known that fatigue is a primary driver and challenge for steel catenary risers (SCRs) and potentially for steel lazy wave risers (SLWRs) as well. This challenge can be overcome in several ways, some better than others. However, the first step is to predict the fatigue...

.../startup conditions, those elbows are subjected to bending under internal pressure, which may cause either plastic collapse or fracture due to low-cycle fatigue. On the other hand, the response of externally pressurised thick-walled elbows used in subsea systems, has received much less attention. The main...
