摘要
In this paper, a simple fatigue estimation model, using only the encountered significant wave height, is used for predicting fatigue accumulation of a vessel during a voyage The formulation of the model is developed based on the narrow-band approximation It is assumed that the significant response range, h(s), has a linear relationship with encountered significant wave height, H(s) The mean stress uperossing frequency, f(z), is represented by the corresponding encountered wave frequency, and it is expressed as a function of H(s) The capacity and accuracy of the model are illustrated by application on one container vessel's fatigue damage accumulation in an amidships detail, operating in the North Atlantic during 2008 For this vessel, all the necessary data needed in the fatigue model, and verification of it, was obtained by measurements The results from the proposed fatigue model are compared with the well-known and accurate rainflow analysis Influence of nonlinearities, for example, whipping, on fatigue damage predictions is also discussed
