Fatigue life of HPU supporting structure
Evaluation of fatigue life of HPU supporting structure in a vessel crane foundation.
The task included:
- 3D modelling of internal and external vessel structure based on 2D drawings.
- Determination of loads based on vessel transport envelope and crane operations.
- Detailed finite element analysis in ANSYS of the crane pedestal, crane foundation, HPU supporting structure, and relevant surrounding vessel structure.
- Evaluation and reporting of fatigue life for critical members.
