“…Fatigue is often quantified using the Palmgren‐Miner rule, which predicts the fatigue of a structure subjected to a sequence of cyclic loading based on the accumulated damage from each cycle
31–33 . The number of cycles that a structure can withstand before failure depends on the stress amplitude by referencing the S‐N curve, which relates the number of cycles to failure for a given stress amplitude
34 . For offshore risers, the axial stress S at a specified time t can be obtained by the tension T e and bending moment M b as:
in which t r is the wall thickness of the structural.…”
