Test methods for corrosion-fatigue of offshore structures
Abstract
The increasing demand for renewable energy, necessitates offshore wind turbine structures to be installed in deeper waters and more remote areas. They are subjected to challenging conditions, i.e., the combination of cyclic loads from wind, waves, and currents, and the corrosive nature of the seawater environment. The literature lacks experimental data on the corrosion-fatigue of structural steels, especially concerning the short crack propagation regime. This study involves developing test methods and equipment for corrosion-fatigue testing of welded structural steel and quantifying the propagation rate of short cracks (starting from corrosion pits). The developed models (calibrated by the experiments) allow accurate prediction of the remaining lifetime of steel structures exposed to corrosion damage.
