More Information
Summary:This volume provides extensive coverage of the latest developments in dynamic sea load predictions, including nonlinear load effects, slamming and impact, plus sections on the mechanics of collisions and grounding. The incorporation of the various loadings in structural design and analysis is also covered including long term extreme and cumulative fatigue effects. There is a vast treatment of strength analysis using finite element methods including ultimate strength evaluation of the hull girder and components, as well as, a section on structural safety assessment applying reliability concepts including fatigue effects. Particular attention is given to problems encountered in ships of special type and size that have been developed in recent years, many of which, by reason of size, configuration or lack of a history of design experience, require a design approach based on first principles.
