FATIGUE MODEL DATASET

The fatigue model dataset contains the power and fatigue damage data of four case studies presented in <em>D6.4 Fatigue assessment</em> of the LiftWEC project. The deliverable can be downloaded here and the four cases consist of: 1) Fixed v-frame structure, 2) Compliant v-frame structure, 3) Passive radial motion of foil and 4) Passive pitching of foil. The theoretical considerations for each case are presented in <em>D6.4 Fatigue assessment. </em>The fatigue damage is computed in one of the fixed ends of the foil. This is because this is a stress hot spot as identified previously in <em>D6.1 Extreme Event LiftWEC ULS Assessment</em>. The fatigue damage is computed assuming a curve D of offshore steel with cathodic protection. A summary of the data is included in the file LW-WP01-AAG-T01-1x0 LiftWEC DATASET FATIGUE ASSESSMENT.
