The evaluation of structural responses is key element in the design of ships and offshore
structures. Fundamental to this is the determination of the design loads to support the Rule …

The safe navigation of ships, especially in narrow ship** waterways, is of the utmost
concern to researchers as well as maritime authorities. Many researchers and practitioners …

The concept of “cyclic ultimate strength” of ship hull structures is proposed. In navigating in
waves a ship is subjected to alternate bending moments in hogging and sagging conditions …

The objective of this work is to analyse the effect of structural damage and associated
neutral axis translation and rotation of the residual load carrying capacity of a container ship …

Ship's hull girder failure could result from maritime accident that can cause human life loss,
environmental disaster, and major economic impacts. In risk-based ship design paradigm …

After collisions at sea, situation evaluation and analysis are very important to follow-up
rescue operations. At present, there are few ways give weights in the current situational …

Risk assessment is regarded as an effective tool for the design of ship structures, based on
the safety level approach (SLA). However, there are gaps between the theoretical realisation …

In this paper, an approach for integrating the data obtained from structural health monitoring
(SHM) in the life-cycle performance assessment of ship structures under uncertainty is …

The objective of this work is to provide an overview of the ultimate strength assessment of
ageing and damaged ship structures in the last decades. Particular attention is paid to the …

The paper presents a simplified analytical method to examine the crushing resistance of
web girders subjected to local static or dynamic in-plane loads. A new theoretical model …
