Reliability Assessment of Ship Structures Against Fatigue

Abstract

This report outlines the project technical goals and strategy to approach the reliability assessment from three technical directions: 1. direct prediction of fatigue damage, 2. prediction of exceeding specified load thresholds, and 3. simulation and prediction of ocean waves.
