Dong, Y., Garbatov, Y. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Review on uncertainties in fatigue loads and fatigue life of ships and offshore structures”, Ocean Engineering, Vol. 264, 112514.
A review is provided focusing on the uncertainties in fatigue loads, damage and crack growth to be incorporated in reliability assessments. The complex fatigue loads originating from wave, wind and cargo loading and unloading actions are considered. The S-N curve approach using Palmgren-Miner’s rule and the crack growth approach is seen as the most commonly used formulations for the fatigue life assessment and special attention is paid to the associated governing factors and their uncertainties as they are required for the fatigue reliability analyses.
