| Abstract | High fatigue reliability is one of the most important design criteria for welded offshore steel structures. Due to repeated wave loading fatigue cracks may initiate and grow in welded joints that are important for the integrity of these structures. The present paper presents the methodology and the practical calculations for risk based inspection planning for fatigue cracks in welded details. Due to the uncertainty in the variables involved in the problem the planning has to be carried out by stochastic modeling and risk based assessments. Scatter in potential crack growth has to be analyzed by applied probabilistic facture mechanics and the uncertainty in the performance of the actual inspection technique has to be determined. With given risk acceptance criteria the practical outcome of the analyses is recommended inspection techniques and associated planned inspection time intervals. The classical theory is outlined and the latest recommendations from a Joint Industry Project recently completed by Det Norske Veritas in Norway are discussed. Discussion on how to model the fatigue process correctly is emphasized, particularly the role of time to crack initiation versus the subsequent crack propagation phase. Proper modeling of these two phases is crucial to get the potential crack path correct and thus obtain a reliable estimate of the probability of crack detection. For the crack propagation phase the selection of geometry functions is addressed. A practical case study for life extension of an offshore oil loading system is finally presented. A structural significant item in the system is the steel gooseneck connection for the sub-sea flexible loading hoses. The case is an interesting one in the way that two similar systems were analyzed independently, one analysis based on the tradition S-N approach and one where the decisions were reliability based by applying the Risk Based Inspection approach. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
