Abstract: Fatigue is one of the chief damage patterns in ocean engineering. As for the marginal fields of the Bohai Gulf, the design needs to satisfy the requirements of ice-induced fatigue in view of the cost. This paper developed a method to optimize the design of ice-resistant jacket platform based on fatigue reliability. The pseudo excitation method was employed to achieve the efficient ice-induced fatigue analysis for complex tubular joints based on a mixed finite element model that can handle the global and local structural characteristics simultaneously, and then the lognormal format was used to assess the ice-induced fatigue reliability of tubular joints. Finally, a real platform JZ20-2 NW platform was used as a demonstration, and the results showed that the design optimization can provide a lighter structure satisfying the requirement of fatigue reliability, and is useful for economic ice-resistant jacket platform design.
