The purpose of this paper is to present a design procedure for subsea rigid jumper system including strength and fatigue analysis. Special attention gives to a methodology based on DNV-RP-F105 to evaluate jumper fatigue damage caused by vortex induced vibration (VIV). Jumper strength analysis is to determine the jumper con-figuration which can accommodate various load conditions and all possible span lengths driven by installation tole-rances of connected subsea structures. Fatigue analysis includes two parts:thermal fatigue and VIV fatigue. This paper presents the procedure of VIV fatigue damage calculation. An example is given to illustrate above methodologies.
