Abstract
The plane frame version of a steel jacket platform is analysed by mode acceleration method. The local stresses in the joints of an offshore structure subjected to random wave/current load are derived from the nominal stress response of the structural members using the stress concentration factors. The fatigue life estimates for welded joint are obtained by both the S-N curve approach alongwith Palmgren-Miner rule and the fracture mechanics approach.
