The report is one in a series of reports conducted as part of a two year Joint Industry Research Project Structural Maintenance for New and Existing Ships initiated in June 1990 by the Department of Naval Architecture and Offshore Engineering of the University of California at Berkeley to both develop practical tools and procedures for the analysis of proposed ship structural repairs and to prepare guidelines for the cost effective design and construction of lower-maintenance ship structures. This project was organized into six studies. The report documents results from Study 1 - Fatigue Damage Evaluations whose objective is to develop and verify engineering guidelines for the evaluation of fatigue damage to critical structural components of existing ships. In particular, the User Manual of the Fatigue Damage Evaluation Software is contained in this report. This includes a definition of the installation procedure, the input requirements and a summary of all necessary input files and file formats.
