Luentosarja: Fatigue Design of high-performing ship structures

This event is part of a lecture series for experts, professors and industry leaders in the maritime sector

The significant improvement in welding and production quality during the last decade enables the production of advanced high-performing marine structures. These structures utilize new steel grades, thinner plates, and best possible topologies to reduce the steel weight. The production with high precision and quality increases the fatigue strength of welded joints considerably. The robust design of the high-performing structures requires fundamental improvement in the fatigue design methodology. This lecture summarizes the present best practices and recent developments with illustrative example cases.
