Abstract
As offshore structures are reaching their original design life, effective repair and life-extension techniques are required, in order to ensure continued safe operation. A stop hole may be drilled at the end of a crack, in order to delay further fatigue crack propagation. To compare the stop hole technique with other relevant repair techniques, its effect needs to be modelled. Here, a procedure for modelling the stop hole-induced fatigue crack...
