During its life-cycle, a ship structure may suffer from structural deterioration associated with
corrosion and/or fatigue. A prolonged exposure to these hazards results in a reduction of …

This paper presents an approach for reducing the uncertainty in the performance
assessment of ship structures by updating the wave-induced load effects with the data …

Life-cycle analysis is a systematic tool for efficient and effective service life management of
deteriorating structures. In the last few decades, theoretical and practical approaches for life …

In this paper, an approach for integrating the data obtained from structural health monitoring
(SHM) in the life-cycle performance assessment of ship structures under uncertainty is …

The stochastic deterioration of ship structural elements is both time and spatially dependent.
In this paper, a formulation of the time-variant ship hull girder reliability subjected to …

Existing naval ships are often required to extend their service life due to budgetary
constraints. This can incur significant costs associated with maintaining aged ships in …

It is crucial to evaluate the risk associated with marine vessels subjected to inclement
weather and sea conditions when developing a decision support system for ship routing …

The purpose of this book is to present the latest research findings in the field of maintenance
and safety of aging infrastructure. For this purpose, the aim was to attract state-of-the-art …
