Degree of Bending (DoB) in Tubular KT-Joints of Jacket Structures Subjected to Axial Loads

The fatigue life of tubular joints commonly found in offshore industry is not only dependent on the value of Hot-spot stress (HSS), but is also significantly influenced by the through-the-thickness stress distribution characterized by the degree of bending (DoB). The determination of DoB values in a...
