Abstract: In pressure vessel applications, the accurate evaluation of the state of stress in the vicinity of nozzles or rigid attachments is of vital importance to the structural integrity of the vessel. ...

Abstract: Differences in the response of thin nonshallow spherical shells resulting from the choice of the adopted shell theory (classical or improved) are addressed analytically and through a series of ...

Abstract: Dynamic compression and buckling are critical issues in the viability analysis of rigid and flexible risers developed for offshore applications, especially concerning deep-water operations. Those ...

Abstract: Several models of the hydrodynamic forces acting on a ship hull in maneuvering have been developed in the last 50 years. These models make possible analysis of ship maneuverability in high ...
