A Simple Reliability Model for the Fatigue Failure of Repairable Offshore Structures

Abstract: A simple reliability model for fatigue failure of tubular welded joints used in the construction of offshore oil and gas platforms is proposed. The stress-life data obtained from large-scale fatigue tests conducted o n tubular joints is used as the starting point in the analysis and is combined with a fracture mechanics model to estimate the distribution of initial defect sizes. This initial defect distribution is hypothetical but it agrees well with other initial defect distributions quoted in the literature … Show more
