Nowadays, aluminium alloys are very popular for use in the marine industry. One of the most
important applications of aluminium in the marine industry is the construction of high-speed …

This work reviews the ultimate compressive strength of aluminium plates and stiffened
panels. The effect of boundary condition, initial imperfection, welding-induced residual …

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

Ultimate limit state (ULS) assessment examines the maximum load-carrying capacity of
structures considering inelastic buckling failure. Contrary to the traditional allowable stress …

In this paper, for the first time, a three-step approach for the optimal design of stiffened
panels accounting for the ultimate limit state due to welding residual stress is developed …

Lawsonia inermis also known as henna was studied as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminum
alloy in seawater. The inhibitor has been characterized by optical study via Fourier transform …

The ultimate compressive strength of equivalent stiffened panels made of aluminium and
steel is analysed numerically and compared. This equivalence is established based on the …

The assessment of the buckling and ultimate collapse strength is a mandatory step in the
ultimate limit state design of ship structures. The collapse analysis of ship-type stiffened …

The present research paper deals with a combined experimental and numerical assessment
of the deformation mode and failure mechanism of welded rectangular plates exposed to …

An adaptable algorithm is proposed in this study, which can predict the complete load-
shortening curve of a stiffened panel subjected to uniaxial longitudinal compression. The …
