Abstract: This paper presents the results of an application of a strip technique for the prediction of the lateral drift forces on a semisubmersible platform floating in oblique regular waves. The method ...

Abstract: An efficient method is presented for estimating the high cycle fatigue life of nonlinear structures under random excitations. The procedure is based on an application of the method of equivalent ...

Abstract: Creep effect becomes an important consideration in the design of high-strength steel structures subjected to a soaking period at elevated temperatures such as in stress-relieving post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) circumstances. ...

Abstract: In this study, an experimental investigation of the thermal effect of welding on the mechanical behavior of thermomechanical control process (TMCP) high-strength steel (HSS) Q690CFD is carried out. Twenty-four specimens ...
