In the present work, a model which estimates the fatigue life for a cylindrical structure interacting with ice is developed. The model is based on the lighthouse of Norströmsgrund, and estimates the fatigue damage for one season. Fatigue is the long-term, cumulative effect of cyclic loads. Cumulativ...
