The residual fatigue life of a submarine pressure structure is investigated, based on the combination between the methods of conventional Monte Carlo and classical probabilistic fracture mechanics. Firstly, Monte Carlo method is employed to obtain the reliability of given initial fatigue life. Secondly, the two induced factors MA1 and MA2 in the paper are estimated according to the initial fatigue life and the reliability. Thirdly, based on the two factors, the residual fatigue life based on other reliability is obtained by using classical probabilistic fracture mechanics method. Numerical examples show that the proposed method is more efficient without accuracy loss for residual fatigue life compared with Monte Carlo method. This method can also be employed to predict the residual fatigue life on other analogue structures.
