In practice, the widely accepted procedure for these structures is to carry out a fatigue life assessment envisages: (1) carrying out static analysis, (2) taking into account dynamics via the application of dynamic amplification factors, and (3) applying Miner's rule. This factor, provided by the standard, is applied to the structure as a whole without considering the vibration of each structural member individually. This paper characterizes the dynamic behavior of each element using location-based dynamic amplification factors estimated from measurements. This caters for a more accurate assessment of the structure, whilst maintaining the simplicity of the standard procedure. | Funding Details: | European Commission Horizon 2020 | Type of material: | Conference Publication | Publisher: | CRC Press | Keywords: | Ship unloader; Dynamic amplification factors; Fatigue | DOI: | 10.1201/9781315210469-352 | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed | Is part of: | Cepin, M., Bris, R.
