Guedes Soares, C. and Garbatov, Y. (1993), “Fatigue Reliability of the Ship Hull Girder”, Proceedings of the VI Congress International Maritime Association of Mediterranean, Varna, pp. 121-134
A formulation is presented for the assessment of the reliability of a ship hull respect to fatigue failure of the longitudinal members. The model allows for the existance of multiple cracks both in the stiffeners and in the plating and it models the crack growth process. The effect of the cracks on the midship section modulus is quantified as a function of time and the resulting reliability is quantified. The sensitivity of the reliability estimates with respect to several parameters is also studied.
