The tubular welded joints used in the construction of offshore
structures can experience millions of variable amplitude load
cycles during their service life. Such fatigue loading represents a
main cause of degradation in these structures. As a result, fatigue
is an important consideration in their design. Fatigue and Fracture
Mechanisms of Offshore Structures present novel research and the
results of wave-induced stress on the operational life of offshore
structures.
Containing results of an investigation undertaken to assess the
fatigue and fracture performance of steels used in the offshore
industry, "Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics of Offshore Structures"
includes, Stress analysis of tubular jointsFatigue designFatigue
loading in Jackup structuresJack-up dynamic responseModelling of
wave loadingTest specimen considerationsThe stress intensity factor
conceptVariable amplitude crack growth modelsConsideration of
sequence effectsSea state probability model
The important research in this book will be of interest to those
dealing with a wide range of engineering structures - from bridges
and buildings to masts and pipelines, as well as fatigue and
fracture specialists, and those concerned with materials
technology.
