Fatigue damage represents a key failure mode in ship structures. Such damage typically
begins at vulnerable points in the structure, like welded joints, stress concentration areas …

The aim of this research was the development and application of the following structural
strain approaches for predicting the low-cycle fatigue life of AA 5083 welded joints: Finite …

The shape of the projectile seems to determine the effect of a ballistic impact and failure
mechanism. In this study, the numerical analysis of ballistic impact with different projectile …

Total-loss marine accident, the most serious type of ship mishap, not only incurs huge
economic losses to shipping companies, but is also usually accompanied by casualties and …

Collision accident accounts for the largest proportion among all types of maritime accidents,
emergency decision-making is essential to reduce the consequence of such accidents. This …

The paper systematically investigates the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of Q345 steel
under a single tensile overload during constant amplitude cyclic loadings by combining the …

A modified cyclic cohesive zone model (CCZM) is developed for low-cycle fatigue crack
initiation prediction for subsea pipelines. The traction and separation law in the model is …

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 …

Fatigue failure is a phenomenon that often occurs in mechanical structures, especially in
components that receive direct cyclic loading, eg, marine facilities, automobiles, critical …

Subjected to complicated and cyclical dynamic loads caused by waves, currents and vessel
motions and transferred by drilling risers, the subsea wellhead (SW) is prone to fatigue …
