Showing papers in "Marine Structures in 1988"

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized some studies in fatigue reliability research and demonstrated how reliability methods can be effectively utilized by designers to avoid fatigue in marine structural components. But, they did not consider the impact of variable amplitude stresses.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new design procedure for heated marine pipelines buried in the seabed is presented based on a study of the soil-pipeline interaction, and a consistent theory is developed for analysis of imperfect, heated pipelines.

TL;DR: In this article, two design equations for merchant ships and warships were derived from a full description of the variables that govern plate strength which are weighted by the probability density function of the plate geometric variables that are applicable to each ship type.

TL;DR: In this paper, a perturbation-based method is developed to solve redesign problems with both static and modal dynamic objectives using data only from the finite element (FE) analysis of the baseline structure.

TL;DR: In this article, a broad field of materials which may be used in marine load bearing structures is discussed, and their properties, costs and applications are compared with more unusual or more modern materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present three areas of ship reliability: buckling collapse of deck plates with distributed initial distortion, fatigue damage using a mathematical model with uncertainty of crack initiation in a group of similar structural members, for example, a row of bottom floors in cargo ships.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was performed on TMCP (thermo-mechanical control process) manufactured high-tensile steel plates with yield point of 40 kgf/mm 2 (YP40), which were recently developed for use in ship production and whose ease of shop fabrication is almost equal to that of the well-proven ship high tensile steel plate (HT50) with yield points at 32 and 36 kgf /mm 2 levels.

TL;DR: In this article, the von Karman equations were used to model the lateral-torsional buckling of a stiffener and a plate under axial compression, and the results were presented in the form of average stress-strain curves.
