Description
The objective of this project is to evaluate the state of practice in fatigue assessment in the offshore industry today. Of interest is an understanding of how fatigue life calculations are undertaken and how both load and resistance side uncertainties are employed in design for fatigue.
This objective will be accomplished via the following tasks:
Conduct Literature review Definition of Illustrative TLPs Evaluate Alternative Fatigue Resistance Models Evaluate Alternative Fatigue Load Models Assess Fatigue Life Conduct Critical Review and Interpretation of Results Prepare Final Report
