ABSTRACT
This paper addresses some of the procedures available for estimating HCF, LCF and their combined effect on fatigue life of ship structural details. HCF analysis is presented through state-of-the-art spectral fatigue analysis, which is a procedure for direct fatigue damage calculation. LCF analysis is done using simple closed form equations due to lack of consistent and more sophisticated procedures. Several proposed models on how to combine HCF and LCF is presented.
