On what basis analysis based on characteristic load values for Environmental Loads?
Direct Answer
Option D: Expected Load History, but not less than 108 cycles
Environmental loads are analyzed based on the expected load history, specifically considering a minimum of 10^8 cycles. This requirement ensures that the structural design accounts for long-term fatigue caused by repetitive wave-induced motions, which is critical for the safety and longevity of cryogenic fuel containment systems at sea.
