The paper presents a review of experiments and calculation procedures for the resistances
of ship structural components subjected to impact loadings. The purpose of the paper is to …

The paper presents a review of the developments in ship collision analysis over the last 10
years and the challenges to an Accidental Limit State (ALS) design method of ships based …

Quasi-static punching tests and low-velocity impact tests have been conducted to examine
the plastic response and failure of clamped rectangular steel plates struck by hemispherical …

Ductile fracture in large structures is often resolved with non-linear finite element (FE)
simulations employing structural shell elements which are larger than localization zone. This …

The predictive capabilities of the Hosford-Coulomb ductile fracture model for shell elements
were evaluated by simulating the penetration of stiffened panel test models. The plasticity …

While the first generation of floating photovoltaics (FPV) was designed for operation in
freshwater reservoirs, the technology is currently expanding to marine territories. In this …

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the dynamic response and
microstructure evolution of titanium alloy plates subjected to low-velocity impact load. The …

The behaviour and failure of stiffened panels made of the aluminium alloy AA6082-T6 is
investigated under quasi-static and low-velocity impact loading conditions. The strain rate …

This paper addresses experimental and finite-element simulation studies on scaled double-
hull side structures quasi-statically punched at the mid-span by conical and knife edge …

Impact loads due to the fall of objects always challenge the integrity and strength of the
structural components. The deck of an offshore platform's topside is prone to impact loads …
