A Study on the Degree of Bending (DoB) in Two-Planar Tubular DYT-Joints of Offshore Jacket Structures: Geometrical Effects and Fatigue Design Formulation
Through-the-thickness stress distribution in a tubular member has a profound effect on the fatigue behavior of tubular joints commonly found in steel offshore structures. This stress distribution can be characterized by the degree of bending (DoB). Although multi-planar joints are an intrinsic featu...

Through-the-thickness stress distribution in a tubular member has a profound effect on the fatigue behavior of tubular joints commonly found in steel offshore structures. This stress distribution can be characterized by the degree of bending (DoB). Although multi-planar joints are an intrinsic feature of offshore tubular structures and the multi-planarity usually has a considerable effect on the DoB values at the brace-to-chord intersection, few investigations have been reported on the DoB in multi-planar joints due to the complexity of the problem and high cost involved. In the present research, data extracted from the stress analysis of 243 finite element (FE) models, verified based on available parametric equations, was used to study the effects of geometrical parameters on the DoB values in twoplanar tubular DYT-joints. Results showed that it is quite common for an axially loaded two-planar DYT-joint to have a low DoB. Therefore, when the current standard HSS-based S-N approach is used for the fatigue analysis of axially loaded twoplanar DYT-joints, results should be modified to include the effect of the DoB in order to obtain more accurate fatigue life prediction.
