On the failure criterion of aluminum and steel plates subjected to low-velocity impact by a spherical indenter
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical failure criterion is proposed to characterise ship plated structures manufactured with aluminum or steel materials subjected to low impact velocities, and the criterion considers the critical deflection, force and absorbed energy of plates laterally impacted by a hemispherical indenter, and assumes that failure occurs at the presence of necking.

The strength and reliability of aluminium stiffened panels
TL;DR: In this article, a reliability-based hot-spot S-N fatigue prediction method is developed for welded connections, including an analysis of the material and prediction uncertainty values and a comparison with existing design codes.

Wave slam response of large high-speed catamarans
TL;DR: In this article, full-scale hull stress, motion and wave measurements were conducted on two high-speed catamaran ferries to investigate the effect of sea loads on their structure.

A numerical assessment of the buckling/ultimate strength characteristics of stiffened aluminium plates with fixed/floating transverse frames
TL;DR: In this article, an extensive investigation into the buckling and ultimate strength of orthogonally stiffened aluminium plates with different structural arrangements of transverse frames is presented in order to identify the merits and disadvantages of the application of a newly proposed design incorporating transverse floating frames, from buckling/ultimate strength points of view.

Comparative Design of Orthogonally Stiffened Plates for Production and Structural Integrity—Part 2: Shape Optimization
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal stiffened plates obtained by size optimization were improved by shape optimization, and three different optimality criteria were used for each stiffened plate configuration to produce one weight optimum, one work content optimum, and one total cost optimum structure.

On the effective breadth of stiffened platings
Dario Boote,Donatella Mascia +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the effective breadth of a stiffened plate, regarding both stiffness and strength, and compare various numerical solutions supplied by a finite-element program with solutions based on the beam theory.
Structural Design of Large, Fast Marine Vehicles Based on First Principles.
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to ship structural design which resolves many of the difficulties of the structural design of large and fast marine vehicles is described, focusing on large catamarans, although the discussion if applicable to monohulls and other concepts.
