Abstract
The fatigue strength of offshore structures operating in ocean must be determined to ensure their structural integrity. All the possible environmental conditions must be considered to accurately estimate the fatigue damage. Thus, analyses for estimation of fatigue damage can consume a significant amount of time as considering all the environmental conditions. Average sea-state method for fast estimation of fatigue damage was proposed in a previous study, and this method considers only one analysis for the representative values of significant wave height and modal period, considering wave occurrence probabilities. The proposed method can significantly reduce computation time required for fatigue analyses. In this study, the proposed method is applied to various wave occurrence probability distributions to determine the applicability to distribution forms. The seafastening structure which secures the topside on transportation vessel is used as the example model. The structural responses of seafastening structures are assessed by conducting coupled analyses considering the coupled behaviors of topside and vessel. The fatigue damage and life for each environmental probability distribution are estimated and compared with common solution. From the error comparisons, it is confirmed that the proposed method is suitable to be applied to a probability distribution form with a relatively small variance. ? 2022 Elsevier Ltd
