21、 description of the method to perform spectral fatigue analysis for ship-type offshore installations in order to obtain the optional classification notation SFA. Spectral fatigue analysis relies on the presumed linearity of wave-induced loads with respect to waves. This condition is sufficiently sat

22、isfied for ship-type offshore installations; such as Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) and Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) systems. For a ship-type hull, linear diffraction forces are the dominant component of wave load. The application of the spectral fatigue analysis method

23、to a ship-type hull is presented in this Guide. For other hull configurations composed of members with relatively large cross sectional dimensions; such as a Tension Leg Platform, Spar, or Column Stabilized units, a spectral approach is often employed; but with appropriate modifications to account f

24、or the influence of nonlinear drag forces that tend to become more important as cross sectional member dimensions decrease. This Guide assumes that any required modification to linearize the wave-induced load effects has been satisfactorily accomplished. This Guide employs basic concepts and termino

25、logy that were defined in the ABS Guide for the Fatigue Assessment of Offshore Structures (2003). In that reference it is stated that: “Fatigue assessment denotes a process where the fatigue demand on a structural element (e.g., a connection detail) is established and compared to the predicted fatig

26、ue strength of that element. One way to categorize a fatigue assessment technique is to say that it is based on a direct calculation of fatigue damage or expected fatigue life. Three important methods of assessment are called the Simplified Method, the Spectral Method and the Deterministic Method. A

27、lternatively, an indirect fatigue assessment may be performed by the Simplified Method, based on limiting a predicted (probabilistically defined) stress range to be at or below a permissible stress range. There are also assessment techniques that are based on Time Domain analysis methods that are es

28、pecially useful for structural systems that are subjected to nonlinear structural response or nonlinear loading.” In this Guide, the fatigue assessment technique that is presented is a direct calculation method based on the spectral analysis method, which can produce a fatigue assessment result in t

29、erms of either expected damage or life. The fatigue strength of structural details is established using the S-N curve approach that is specified in the referenced Guide. It should be borne in mind that for the hull structure of an Offshore Installation, wave-induced loading is usually the dominant s

30、ource of fatigue damage. However some types of floating offshore structures may also be subjected to significant fatigue loading from other loading sources. This can be true for hull types that undergo frequent loading and discharge of produced fluids. For example, in FPSO and FSO systems, such load

31、 changes can induce large ranges of hull girder stress and secondary stress (albeit at lower cycles than direct wave loads). Such load cycle fatigue is also addressed in this Guide. In addition, fatigue loading may also be induced by the operation of equipment associated with the function of the Off

32、shore Installation. The extent to which the spectral-based fatigue method can or will be adapted to take into account these “non-wave” sources of fatigue damage must be further considered by the designer.

33、010 3 FPSO Areas for Fatigue Assessment There are two general categories of FPSO structural details for which fatigue assessments are required. The first type relates to conventional tanker hull details and is indicated in 1/3.1. For some of these details, in addition to wave loads, low cycle produc

34、ed fluid (cargo) loading and offloading induced loads should be considered in the fatigue assessment. The second type of details is specific to an FPSO as indicated in 1/3.3. For some of the latter type, other kinds of loads, (e.g., low-frequency loads or operational dynamic loads) should be include

35、d in the fatigue assessments. 3.1 Hull Structure General guidance on areas of the hull where fatigue assessment should be performed is as follows: 3.1.1 Connections of Longitudinal Stiffeners to Transverse Web/Floor and to Transverse Bulkhead 3.1.1(a) 2 to 3 selected side longitudinal stiffeners in

36、the region from 1.1 maximum draft to about 0.33 maximum draft in the midship region and also in the region between 0.15L and 0.25L from F.P., respectively. 3.1.1(b) 1 to 2 stiffeners selected from each of the following groups: Deck longitudinals, bottom longitudinals, inner bottom longitudinals and

37、longitudinals on side longitudinal bulkheads. One longitudinal on the longitudinal bulkheads within 0.1D from the deck is to be included. For these structural details, the fatigue assessment is to be first focused on the flange of the longitudinal stiffener at the rounded toe welds of attached flat

38、bar stiffeners and brackets. Then, the critical spots on the web plate cut-out, on the lower end of the stiffener, as well as the weld throat, are also to be checked for the selected structural detail. Where the stiffener end bracket arrangements on two sides of a transverse web are different, both

39、configurations are to be checked. 3.1.2 Shell, Bottom, Inner Bottom or Bulkhead Plating at Connections to Webs or Floors (for Fatigue Assessment of Plating) 3.1.2(a) 1 to 2 selected locations of side shell plating near the summer LWL amidships and between 0.15L and 0.25L from F.P. respectively. 3.1.

40、2(b) 1 to 2 selected locations in way of bottom and inner bottom amidships. 3.1.2(c) 1 to 2 selected locations of lower strakes of side longitudinal bulkhead amidships. 3.1.3 Connections of the Slope Plate to Inner Bottom and Side Longitudinal Bulkhead Plating at the Lower Cargo Tank Corners One sel

41、ected location amidships at transverse web and between webs, respectively. 3.1.4 End Bracket Connections for Transverses and Girders 1 to 2 selected locations in the midship region for each type of bracket configuration 3.1.5 Other Regions and Locations Other regions and locations, highly stressed b

42、y fluctuating loads, as identified from structural analysis 3.3 FPSO-Specific Structural Areas The adequacy of the following FPSO-specific areas for fatigue should be suitably demonstrated: Position mooring/hull interface, if spread moored (5A-1-4/3 of the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floatin

43、g Production Installations (FPI Rules) Turret and its interface with hull, if turret moored (6-2-1/13 and 6-2-1/15 of the FPI Rules) Riser porches Section 1 Introduction ABSGUIDE FOR SPECTRAL-BASED FATIGUE ANALYSIS FOR FPSO INSTALLATIONS .2010 3 The details, below and on the deck of the hull, compri

44、sing the supports of the topside structures. (The interface details between the hull structure and equipment skids and support frames deserve particular attention.) Additional areas, as applicable, including: flare tower foundation, crane pedestals, helideck to deck connections and deck penetrations

45、. 5 Tanker Conversion When an FPSO is converted from a trading tanker, the fatigue damage accumulated during the “trading tanker” phase is to be deducted when establishing the remaining fatigue life for future service as an FPSO. When calculating the fatigue damage for past services, the wave condit

46、ions of specific routes the vessel has experienced in past service can be employed, instead of using the wave condition representing unrestricted service as may have been done for classification as a tanker. When calculating the fatigue damage accumulated during the “trading tanker” phase, the effec

47、ts of vessel speed (encounter frequency) should be included (i.e., in the evaluation of stress RAOs and the number of stress cycles). 7 General Comments about the Spectral-based Method Spectral-based Fatigue Analysis is a complex and numerically intensive technique. As such, there is more than one v

48、ariant of the method that can be validly applied in a particular case. This Guide is not intended to preclude the use of any valid variant of a Spectral-based Fatigue Analysis method by “over specifying” the elements of an approach. However, there is a need to be clear about the basic minimum assump

49、tions that are to be the basis of the method employed and some of the key details that are to be incorporated in the method to produce results that will be acceptable to ABS. For this reason, most of the remainder of this Guide addresses these topics. The main assumptions underlying the Spectral-based Fatigue Analysis method are listed below: i) Ocean waves are the main source of the fatigue-inducing loads acting on the structural system being analyzed. The fatigue damage from other loading sources can be considered separately. ii) In order for the frequency d
