Fatigue strength assessment of large welded K-nodes in the offshore industry: a comparison of approaches using MAGNA FEMFAT software

Fatigue design of large welded structures presents significant challenges due to complex geometries and variable loading conditions, especially in industries such as offshore engineering. While nominal stress-based methods remain widely used, they often fall short when applied to intricate welded details. This study investigates the use of MAGNA FEMFAT, a commercial fatigue analysis tool, to evaluate the fatigue strength of large welded K-nodes typically found in small offshore platforms.
