INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW The exploration for oil and gas in ever increasing water depths has given an impetus to research efforts on the behaviour of offshore structures under ocean environment. These structures are continuously subjected to environmental loading because of waves, wind and current. A response analysis is required to assess the safety of offshore structure under severe storm conditions as well as for estimation of damage caused by less severe but more frequently occuring sea states. A majority of the reported failures in the life time of offshore structures are in fact fatigue failures. The offshore structures are usually built in the form of welded tubular structures. The joints of these tubular members experience the fatigue damage mainly due to small defects in welding which act as crack initiators, high stress concentrations and the variable loads. The variable loads due to the ocean waves cause cyclic stress variation in the structural members and the accumu lated effect of these stresses results in the fatigue failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etube (mechanical engineering, University College London) presents novel research and the results of wave-induced stress on the operational life of offshore structures. Using the results of an investigation undertaken to assess the fatigue and fracture performance of steels used in the industry, the five chapters discuss details of the methodology to develop a typical jack-up offshore standard load history (JOSH); factors that influence fatigue resistance of structural steels used in the construction of jack-up structures; methods used to model the relevant factors for inclusion in JOSH, with emphasis on loading and structural response interaction; results and details of experimental variable amplitude corrosion fatigue tests conducted using JOSH; and a novel generalized methodology for fast assessment of offshore structural welded joints.

Book excerpt: Soon after oil and gas exploration and production began in the North Sea in the 1960s, it became apparent that the steel structure design developed for offshore activities in the Gulf of Mexico was not adequate when transferred to the rigorous North Sea environment. Realizing the great need for a better understanding of the fatigue phenomenon, concerned materials scientists at SINTEF and Det norske Veritas prepared a five-year programme for intensified research on fatigue of offshore steel structures. It became the National Five Year Programme for Fatigue of Offshore Steel Structures in 1981. This text comprises a study of fatigue in offshore steel structures. It seeks to make results in the area available in a form that can be utilized and understood by those responsible for the different stages in engineering, design, fabrication and service of offshore structures.
Download or read book Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics of Offshore Structures written by Naveen Patniak and published by Scitus Academics LLC. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fatigue phenomenon process in structural elements and connections. 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. Increasing oil consumption in the world and scarcity of land-oil resources due to political and economical reasons has caused offshore oil exploration and production to become a growing investigation field in the past six decades. The analysis of structures to use energy deposits and other recourses, or for other purposes, in ocean environments requires a special consideration since environmental and loading conditions offshore are very complicated and contain large uncertainties. Offshore structures are continuously subjected to random ocean waves producing stochastic loads that cause mainly fatigue failure in structural components.

Download or read book Fatigue Life Analyses of Welded Structures written by Tom Lassen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avoiding or controlling fatigue damage is a major issue in the design and inspection of welded structures subjected to dynamic loading. Life predictions are usually used for safe life analysis, i.e. for verifying that it is very unlikely that fatigue damage will occur during the target service life of a structure. Damage tolerance analysis is used for predicting the behavior of a fatigue crack and for planning of in-service scheduled inspections. It should be a high probability that any cracks appearing are detected and repaired before they become critical. In both safe life analysis and the damage tolerance analysis there may be large uncertainties involved that have to be treated in a logical and consistent manner by stochastic modeling. This book focuses on fatigue life predictions and damage tolerance analysis of welded joints and is divided into three parts. The first part outlines the common practice used for safe life and damage tolerance analysis with reference to rules and regulations. The second part emphasises stochastic modeling and decision-making under uncertainty, while the final part is devoted to recent advances within fatigue research on welded joints. Industrial examples that are included are mainly dealing with offshore steel structures. Spreadsheets which accompany the book give the reader the possibility for hands-on experience of fatigue life predictions, crack growth analysis and inspection planning. As such, these different areas will be of use to engineers and researchers.

Part one concentrates on analysing fracture of welded joints and structures, with chapters on constraint-based fracture mechanics for predicting joint failure, fracture assessment methods and the use of fracture mechanics in the fatigue analysis of welded joints. In part two, the emphasis shifts to fatigue, and chapters focus on a variety of aspects of fatigue analysis including assessment of local stresses in welded joints, fatigue design rules for welded structures, k-nodes for offshore structures and modelling residual stresses in predicting the service life of structures. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Fracture and fatigue of welded joints and structures is an essential reference for mechanical, structural and welding engineers, as well as those in the academic sector with a research interest in the field.
