Nguyen, K.T., Garbatov, Y. and Guedes Soares, C. (2013), “Spectral Fatigue Damage Assessment of Tanker Deck Structural Detail Subjected to Time-Dependent Corrosion”, International Journal of Fatigue, Volume 48, pp. 147-155

The paper presents a spectral fatigue damage analysis of a double hull tanker structural detail accounting for corrosion wastage over time. The cyclic load of the wave-induced vertical bending moment, analysis using a strip theory on the frequency domain, is considered for two loading conditions. The influence of sea environment parameters and operational profiles including the use of different scatter diagrams, and wave variance spectra have been analyzed. The effect on the time-dependent cumulative fatigue damage as a function of corrosion deterioration is calculated.
