This is a JIP to develop a fatigue analysis methodology for flexible pipes. The background to this initiative lies in the general industry acceptance that most flexible pipe fatigue analysis methodologies lack the level of sophistication necessary to adequately determine the fatigue life of flexible risers. Equally, existing methodologies lack the independence, consistency and level of transparency that is increasingly being demanded by the industry.
