Maintenance is playing an important role in integrity management of marine assets such as
ship structures, offshore renewable energy platforms and subsea oil and gas facilities. The …

Welding-induced residual stress is known to reduce the ultimate compressive strength of
moderately slender stiffened panels under longitudinal compression. This paper contributes …

Pitting corrosion poses a threat to plated steel structures serving in aggressive corrosion
environments. This paper involves numerical studies on the structural behaviour and …

This study concentrates on a comparison between steel plate and stiffened panels subject to
localised corrosion. A finite element analysis is used to investigate the effect of random …

Stiffened ship plate is one of the most important parts of coasting vessels. Due to long-term
immersion in seawater, the mechanical properties of the plates are easily affected by …

In order to investigate the effect of corrosion damage on the bearing performance of H-
shaped steel columns under axial compression, experimental study was carried out on …

An approach to simulate the behaviour of steel stiffened plates subjected to weld-induced
grooving corrosion using nonlinear finite element modelling is proposed. The model …

A numerical methodology is established to study the mechano-electrochemical performance
of corroded steel structures under external and internal stresses. Results show that …

Ships and offshore structures operate in harsh and corrosive environments and they are
subject to high hydrodynamic and inertial loads. Thus it is important to accurately predict the …

The use of welded hollow spherical joints (WHSJs) is widespread in spatial structures.
However, steel is susceptible to corrosion during operation, which can lead to a decrease in …
