RISFatigue Reliability of Maintained Welded Joints in the Side Shell of Tankers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A formulation is presented for the assessment of the reliability of a local ship hull structure regarding fatigue failure. The potential cracks are considered to occur in the side shell, in ...
The Bivariate Distribution of Wave Heights and Periods in Mixed Sea States
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The probabilistic structure of the bivariate distribution of sea wave heights and periods in sea states with two-peaked spectra is examined by means of numerically simulated wave records. ...
On the Profile of Large Ocean Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wave data obtained from simulations from an offshore basin and from field measurements were used to provide an assessment of the adequacy of describing the most likely time trace profile around ...
Experimental Investigation of the Shipping of Water on the Bow of a Containership
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the shipping of water on the bow of a containership. Model tests were carried out in head regular and irregular waves of ...
Nonlinear Crest, Trough, and Wave Height Distributions in Sea States With Double-Peaked Spectra
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The peak to trough distributions of nonlinear high sea waves in bimodal sea states in deep water are investigated. The statistical distribution of wave height is first analyzed by considering ...
Bayesian Updating in the Reliability Assessment of Maintained Floating Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present paper adopts a Bayesian approach to update some of the parameters of the probability distributions governing the reliability assessment of maintained floating structures. It is based ...
Experimental Study of the Probability Distributions of Green Water on the Bow of Floating Production Platforms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Results of an experimental program with a model of a moored floating production storage and offloading vessel are used to study the probability distributions associated with various phenomena ...
Structural Reliability of a Suezmax Oil Tanker Designed According to New Common Structural Rules
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper aims at quantifying the changes in notional reliability levels that result from redesigning an existing suezmax tanker to comply with new Common Structural Rules (CSR) requirement for ...
Non-Gaussian Wave Groups Generated in an Offshore Wave Basin
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The main goal of the present paper is to study the differences of the descriptors of the wave groups in the nonlinear case in comparison with the same parameters for a Gaussian process. The ...
Nonlinear High Wave Groups in Bimodal Sea States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nonlinear effects for wave groups in bimodal sea states are investigated. The linear free surface displacement is obtained by applying the quasi-determinism theory of the highest waves, with the spectrum given by the ...
