Riser Fatigue Design
Conduct analysis to simulate long term environment
Combine fatigue damage from different phenomena
Many variables to accommodate:
Environmental loading
Vessel motions
Soil characteristics
Response modelling
Material fatigue resistance
Approach:
Conservative analysis parameters
Large factors of safety (10)
Design code objective to obtain target probability of failure (~10-5)

Environmental loading
Vessel motions
Soil characteristics
Response modelling
Calculation is typically conservative

Fatigue Strength
22
Strength (fatigue curves) determined through testing
Variability due to:
Materials
Welding procedures
Design fatigue strength, B, defined by mean – 2 standard deviations

Benefit of Fatigue Measurements
27 Measurements enable definition of conservatism or bias = A/C
![Page 28: Secrets of a Healthy and - Society for Underwater Technology · PDF fileSecrets of a Healthy and ... Riser Fatigue Design How Monitoring Data Can be Used ... and tow out FPSO 190 m](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030418/5aa48db17f8b9a2f048c4f5b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What Other Benefits Can Be Gained?
Use of bias alone gives 3 to 10 times improvement
Measurements remove major uncertainties:
Wave loading and vessel motions
Hydrodynamic coefficients
Modelling
Soil parameters
Uncertainty remains only in transfer function and local SCF’s
Reliability analysis can be used to take advantage of reduced variability – DNV RP-F204, DNV CN 30.6

Extended Use of Measurements
29 Reduction in variability can be defined using reliability analysis

Conclusions
Monitoring reduces uncertainties
Determining bias and reducing uncertainty can be used to extend life, while achieving the same target probabilities of failure
Monitoring provides information to confirm that equipment is healthy and to keep the people responsible happy
Standardisation of reduced safety factors for monitored response should be feasible and is being investigated
