r t
(OD 2 ID 2 )
r is radius out to the location where the fatigue is to be checked (inside, outside or midwall)
steel pipe thickness used in stress calculation is normally reduced by half of the corrosion/wear allowance t=tsteel-0.5*tcorr

Simplified method often used where one assume that e.g. pipe in umbilical cross section is located at the center of the pipe having the same curvature as the global model:
- (t ) = x (t ) E r sin( ) + y (t ) E r cos( ) where is curvature and r is radius to hotspot e.g. (OD-t)/2 for midwall stress end E is module of elasticity

Fatigue crack growth caclulcations (da/dN): The initial and final crack sizes have to be known. Crack growth parameters in Paris law, m and C, has to be known. Some standardised m/C values given in BS 7910. Otherwise, have to be determined by testing. Detailed stress distribution has to be known
