Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the ultimate strength of stiffened aluminum panels by the nonlinear finite element method. A new type of stiffened aluminum alloy panel has been designed, which has fixed longitudinal ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the variation of neutral axis of ship hull girder due to asymmetric geometry or asymmetric load, and its influence on the ultimate strength (ULS) of hull girder. In order to ...

Abstract: Based on the KGD scheme, this paper investigates, with both analytical and numerical approaches, the propagation of a hydraulic fracture with a fluid lag in permeable rock. On the analytical aspect, the general form of ...
