Integrality Assessment of Tubular Joints in Aging Offshore Platform Based on Reliability Theory

Abstract:

The paper presents a reliability-based approach to assess the structural integrality of tubular joints with cracks in aging offshore platforms. Two different fatigue failure models are established respectively according to crack propagation size and equivalent fatigue strength, and the corresponding computing methods of fatigue reliability are proposed. The fatigue stress of tubular joint suffering sea wave load is calculated by spectrum analysis. The numerical examples are given to show the difference between the two reliability models. Considered the influence of inspection and repair, the reliability is updated by two different maintenance schedules. The analysis results can help to work out the optimal inspection planning, so as to prolong the service life for aged offshore platforms.
