Estimation of the Ice-Induced Fatigue Damage to a Semi-Submersible Platform under Level Ice Conditions

This study presents a fatigue analysis procedure for inclined structures operated in level ice fields. Three methods for calculating the local ice load causing fatigue damage, namely the direct method, simplified method, and semi-analytical method, were introduced and compared. The direct method use...
