| The purpose of this study is to validate the use of the so-called Iterative Component Addition (ICA) formulas for the assessment of fatigue damage of marine structures subjected to complex (multimodal) wave loading conditions, as prevail in West Africa areas where the sea states are usually described as combinations of three wave systems (e.g. main swell, secondary swell and wind sea). In this context, operators specifications require to consider a very large set of fatigue loading cases, which lead to excessive computation times if the conventional procedure is used for fatigue assessment. The use of the ICA formulas is expected to simplify the evaluation of the damage and to allow a drastic reduction of computation time, keeping a slight level of... |
