The present paper targets uncertainties of wave-induced rigid-body ship responses with a
focus on global wave loads. The review presents general concepts and modelling of the …

Structural failures in the barge midship sections can cause operational delay, sinking, cargo
loss and environmental damage. These failures can be generated by the barge and cargo …

The paper presents an analysis of structural design wave loads on an FPSO. The vertical
bending moment at midship induced by rogue waves are compared with rule values. The …

Traditionally, the evaluation of global loads experienced by passenger ships has been
based on closed-form Classification Society Rule formulae or quasi direct analysis …

A series of new generation oil tankers is presently under construction. These ships differ
from traditional oil tankers by their unusual form and therefore direct hydrodynamic analysis …

An assessment is made of the maximum wave induced bending moment expected to occur
during the operational lifetime of a fast monohull, based on long term distribution …

After facing some criticism regarding assumptions contained in IACS Rec. No. 34 Rev 1
(2001), efforts have been put in by IACS members resulting in a new revision of this …

In this work, a method is developed to calculate the instantaneous shear force and bending
moment of the ship in waves using point clouds. The force at each station is calculated by …

This paper is concerned with evaluating the effect of heavy weather avoidance on the long-
term wave-induced loads on ships. Two hydrodynamic codes, veres based on a 2D strip …

The purpose of the study is to include a spatial statistical correlation between sea states that
ship encounters during a voyage to improve wave scatter diagram for the analysis of ship …
