Operationally, marine components and structures such as boiler in a Ship, are exposed to varying mechanically and thermally induced forces. High-frequency mechanical loading arises from the cyclic pressure, temperature transients, and six directional Rapid Amplitude Operator (RAOs). These types of loadings are mainly in the elastic region usually denoted as high cycle fatigue (HCF), most pronounced during the start-up, and the shut-down sequence of operation, which are responsible for an astronomically reduction in Marine Boiler’s lifetime as compared to land boiler with same designed operating condition. Therefore, there is a need to determine the limitations of the engineering variables of the boiler with respect to Pressure, temperature, RAOs, and best locational point for the optimization of its designed lifetime during Operation. Detailed knowledge of this interaction between varying temperatures, RAOs and load cases is of considerable importance for precise lifetime calculations. In order to understand and analyze the material behavior under contentious stress exposure, a general-purpose linear Finite Element (FE) code, LS-DYNA software is used as a pre-processor and solver during the simulation and data are post-processed using stress-based analysis method.
