Features: Tubular joints are a critical component of offshore platforms. Accidents involving the entire platform are often caused by cracks (failure) at the tubular joint, with failure modes generally including ultimate strength failure and fatigue strength failure. This book systematically summarizes research on this issue, including stress concentration calculation, elastic-plastic analysis, ultimate load-bearing capacity calculation, fatigue analysis, and flexibility analysis, based on the author's past research. It serves as a reference for graduate students, teachers, and engineering technicians in the field of marine engineering structures.
