Abstract:Fatigue life of flexible risers is a critical design factor in offshore riser system design. To estimate the fatigue damage, global and local analyses are performed inhouse with inputs from operators. Metocean data, riser properties, vessel or platform RAO data are typical inputs for the fatigue analysis. In addition to the conservatism inherited in the product design methodology and API safety factor 10 for fatigue estimation, the input data may also contain some additional conservatism compared to actual ope… Show more
