Project Number | 604 |
Date of Summary | August 26, 2008 |
Subject | Evaluation of Fatigue Life Models and Assessment Practice for Tension Leg Platforms (Phase 1: Tendon System Fatigue) |
Performing Activity | Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) |
Principal Investigator | Lance Manuel |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion | January 31, 2009 |
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:
