J. Marine Sci. Appl. (2015) 14: 76-82 DOI: 10.1007/s11804-015-1291-0 Fatigue Analysis of Steel Catenary Risers Based on a Plasticity Model * Yongqiang Dong and Liping Sun College of Shipbuilding Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China Abstract: The most critical issue in the steel catenary riser design significantly on the assumed riser-soil interaction model at is to evaluate the fatigue damage in the touchdown zone accurately. the TDZ, which is still an area of uncertainty for design
