A simple method for estimating the ultimate strength of rectangular plates under combined biaxial and shear loads is proposed. Although numerous studies have been conducted to predict plates, most conventional methods rely on empirical approaches that involve plastic correction elastic buckling or curve fitting through nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) experimental test results. For a more rational design hull structures, it important develop an estimation with theoretical basis...
Abstract In order to clarify and visualize the real state of structural performances ships in operation establish a more optimal, data-driven framework for ship design, construction operation, an industry-academia joint R&D project on digital twin structures (DTSS) was conducted Japan. This paper presents major achievements project. The DTSS aims grasp stress responses over whole structure waves by data assimilation that merges hull monitoring numerical simulation. Three methods, namely,...
Very Large Floating Structure (VLFS) is a unique concept of ocean structures primary because their unprecedented length, displacement cost and associated hydroelastic response. International Ship Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC) had paid attention to the emerging novel technology launched Special Task Committee investigate state art in technology. This paper summarizes activities committee. A brief overview VLFS given first for readers new subject. History, application uniqueness with...
This paper presents a benchmark study on the ultimate limit state analysis of stiffened plate structure subjected to uniaxial compressive loads, initiated and coordinated by ISSC 2022 technical committee III.1-Ultimate Strength. The overall objective is establish predictions buckling collapse strength structures loads. Participants were asked perform for full-scale reference experiment steel utilizing any combination class rules, guidelines, numerical approaches simulation procedures as they...
SUMMARY This paper presents fracture mechanics analysis using the wavelet Galerkin method and extended finite element method. The is a new methodology to solve partial differential equations where scaling/wavelet functions are used as basis functions. In solid/structural analyses, domain divided into equally spaced structured cells scaling periodically placed throughout domain. To improve accuracy, superposed on within region having high stress concentration, such near hole or notch. Thus,...
Dynamic collapse behavior of a ship's hull girder in waves is investigated; post-ultimate strength the focus. Firstly, simulation method proposed. Assuming that plastic hinge formed during girder, whole ship modeled as two rigid bodies connected amidship via nonlinear rotational spring. The behavior, such reduction load carrying capacity due to buckling and yielding, reflected model. Hydrodynamic loads are evaluated by using strip theory account for effect large deformations on loads. A...

For validation, scale model ratio 1/100, which follows law similitude in ultimate bending as well geometry employed tank tests. The produced by dropping mass object....
Abstract The detection of changes in the dynamic behavior structures is an important issue structural safety assessment. development methods assumes greater significance case offshore platforms because inherent problems are compounded by harsh environment. Here, we describe instrumented physical model for health monitoring jacket-type structure and results tests several different damage scenarios. In a comparative investigation two methods, discuss difficulties implementing techniques...
