A catenary anchor leg mooring system (CALM) is one of the main kinds of offshore transport terminals. Its buoyancy is connected by multiple anchor chains fixed on the seabed. Because a large deformation characterizes the anchor chain, it is prone to fati...

Resonance causes extreme stress, acceleration of fatigue, and reduction in lifespan of offshore wind structures. The main factors that cause resonance are environmental loads such as wind and waves, and dynamic loads caused by rotor movement. Estimation ...

In this paper, the fatigue design of rails in the transition from bridge to abutment is examined. The current fatigue design of rail systems is carried out with simplifying assumptions concerning the stresses in the rail. Thus, the determination of a fat...

Consequences of failure of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) is in general lower than consequences of failure of, e.g., oil & gas platforms. It is reasonable that lower fatigue design factors can be applied for fatigue design of OWTs when compared to other f...
