TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of local corrosion applied to plates and stiffened panels typically found in ship structures are investigated through the use of load-shortening collapse curves, and the results are compared to analytical calculations and available experimental measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, a full-scale testing system was designed and constructed, in which the stiffened panel was simply supported by cylindrical bearings at both ends and restrained by discrete carriages along the sides.

TL;DR: In this paper, nonlinear finite element (FE) collapse pressure predictions are compared to experimental results for submarine pressure hull test specimens with and without artificial corrosion and tested to collapse under external hydrostatic pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, a co-rotational, updated Lagrangian formulation for geometrically nonlinear analysis of shells is presented, which is ideally suited for implementation in existing linear finite element programs and has been demonstrated by a number of numerical examples.

TL;DR: In this article, a computational procedure was developed to evaluate the condensed stiffness matrix of vibration isolators required by the vibration of viscoelastic and elastic structures (VVES) program.
