This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

It is the purpose of the paper to present a review of prediction and analysis tools for collision
and grounding analyses and to outline a probabilistic procedure for which these tools can …

Necking has been the dominant failure mode in sheet metal forming industry and several
analytical and numerical tools were developed to predict the onset of necking. However, the …

The failure to achieve satisfactory results will cause immense losses in major projects.
Nevertheless, the modeling limitations and phenomenon assumptions represented by …

In this paper, the buckling analysis on simply supported rectangular plates and stiffened
panels is carried out. Three different plate thicknesses were proposed (ie, 3 mm, 4 mm, and …

The paper deals with hull damage in ships which are subjected to grounding actions. A ship
is assumed to settle vertically on a rock. It is further assumed that contact actions are local …

This paper proposes some simple formulae based on the rigid-perfectly plastic method to
examine the dynamic response of stiffened rectangular plates repeatedly impacted by a rigid …

The implementation of recent progress on stress state dependent ductile fracture models is
inhibited by the break-down of shell element solutions whenever through-thickness necking …

This paper presents a procedure to analyse ship collisions using a simplified analytical
method by taking into account the interaction between the deformation on the striking and …

In this paper, a computational framework for simulating ductile fracture in multipatch shell
structures is presented. A ductile fracture phase-field model at finite strains is combined with …
