Abstract

The Indonesia tsunami early warning system (InaTEWS) utilizes a number of surface buoys which are
installed and operated at a number of locations in Indonesia seas, namely, off the West coast of the Sumatra island
and off the South coast of the Java island. A critical structural component of the surface buoy is its keel structure,
which was manufactured from a previously used ship propeller shaft. Due to the cyclic nature of the loading and the
utilization of used material, a fatigue-life assessment of the keel structure is required. For that purpose, fatigue tests
were performed to determine the S-N curve of the material. The experimentally obtained S-N curve has a slopesof
approximately -1/14 or a value of m = -1/sof approximately 14, indicating that the fatigue strength of the material is
very much lower than a typical new carbon steel,which has a value of m of 3 or 4. Furthermore, model tests were
conducted to measure the wave load on the mooring line. Results of spectral fatigue calculations including the
Rayleigh approximation of narrow-banded spectrum and those taking into account band-width effects, show that the
fatigue life of the keel structure is approximately 15 years.
