Popis: Ocean-crossing ship structures continuously suffer from wave-induced loads when sailing at sea. The encountered wave loads cause significant variations in ship structural stresses, leading to accumulated fatigue damage. Where large inherent uncertainties still exist, it is now common to use spectral methods for direct fatigue calculation when evaluating ship fatigue. This paper investigates the use of a machine learning technique to establish a model for 2800TEU container vessel fatigue assessment. Measurement data from 3 years of cross-Atlantic sailing demonstrated and validated the machine learning model. In this investigation, the ship’s motions were used as inputs to build a machine learning model. The fatigue damage amounts predicted using a machine learning model were compared with those obtained from full-scale measurements and direct fatigue calculation. The pros and cons of the methods are compared in terms of their capability, robustness, and prediction accuracy.
