Abstract: An analysis is presented for the free out-of-plane vibration of a circular ring elastically supported against deflection, rotation, and torsion at several points located at equal angular intervals. ...

Abstract: The boundary element method (BEM) in current usage, is based on the displacement boundary integral equation. The current practice of computing stresses in the BEM involves the use of a two-tier ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a method of systematically generating the failure criteria of truss structures by using Matrix Method. The resulting criterion for a statically determinate truss is simple ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a method for probabilistic collapse analysis of an offshore structure. Wave loads are estimated by using Stokes third-order theory and Morison’s formula. Plastic collapsing ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with reliability-based sensitivity analysis of ship’s hull structures, which are modeled by using combined spatial plate and frame elements, based on the ultimate strength ...
