Abstract: Efficient methods are described here to predict the stochastic accumulation of fatigue damage due to nonlinear ship loads that are produced in random seas. The stochastic analysis method, which ...

Abstract: The reliability of a floating offshore platform against extreme offsets is studied. Methods are illustrated to perform more refined analyses of extreme loads and load effects. These include the effect of nonlinear diffraction ...

Abstract: An assessment of three offshore platforms in the Valhall field of the North Sea is described in this paper. Ultimate strength and reliability analyses were performed for the jacket-type platforms ...
