This study experimentally analyses the impact of marine immersed corrosion degradation on
the compressive strength of the stiffened plates where the lower degradation levels were …

The residual strength capacity of ship hull with full corrosion appearance in every structural
member has been considered in a large number of research works; however, the influence …

This paper focuses on the effect of initial imperfections and corrosion wastage on the age
related strength degradation of bulk carriers. At the beginning, the initial imperfections …

Corrosion addition, as defined by the International Association of Classification Societies
(IACS), is a proactive design measure against corrosion-induced structural deterioration. In …

Nowadays, with the increasing operational life of ships, the aging effects on their structural
behavior need to be investigated precisely. With the corrosive marine environment taken …

The paper presents the conversion of an oil tanker into FPSO to be operated in Gulf of
Mexico (GoM) considering the strength and fatigue analyses. First, hydrodynamic analysis is …

Standard structural assessments of ship hulls include the evaluation of the elastic structural
response. Elastic analysis neglects extreme and unpredicted loadings, which can produce …

In general, ship structural integrity assessments consist of prescribed procedures given by
the rules of classification societies, and if necessary, direct calculations. Direct calculations …

The paper deals with analyzing corrosion waste impact on ship girder strength through the
life cycle. Evaluation of corrosion impact on ship strength is important because in some …

Self-healing mechanism (SHM) application has attracted interest due to ability to self-heal as
response to damage situations in various conditions, and is being actively explored …
