Abstract

Ships are the main drivers of global transportation. Ships operate in one of the harshest environments in the world, which can cause various damage scenarios such as corrosion and fatigue damage. In this Special Issue, we aim to focus on the state of the art in numerical, analytical, and experimental methods for the reliable and economic assessment of the strength of ship structures. The Special Issue considers a wide range of areas related to the strength of ships structures including the structural response of the ship hull under dynamic and quasistatic conditions, the design and optimization of ship structures, the grounding and crashworthiness of ship structures, the buckling and ultimate strength of plates and stiffened panels, the springing and whipping of the ship hull girder, fatigue and crack modelling of welded structures, uncertainty and reliability modelling, noise and vibration, the corrosion of ships' structural parts, structural health monitoring, and the composite design of ships.
