... fracture mechanics offshore installations cable jointing inspection cracks engineering computing Fatigue damage is one of the most important concerns in fixed offshore platforms. It is produced by operational wave loading and initiates when a crack appears in a joint. The damage accumulates...

... modelling engineering computing Joint probabilistic descriptions of the main environmental characteristics are required for estimating extreme response and fatigue damage of e.g. offshore structures, as well as for decision making in marine operations. As the considered parameters are more or less...
