In this paper, a simple first-order shear deformation theory is presented for laminated
composite plates. Unlike the existing first-order shear deformation theory, the present one …

This paper focuses on ship springing and whipping analysis using a three-dimensional (3-
D) Rankine panel method combined with a beam-element-based 1-D structural model and a …

This paper describes the development of a time-domain hydroelastic numerical model for
investigating the slamming and whipping loads imposed on a ship traveling at different …

In the hydroelastic analysis of large floating structures, the structural and hydrodynamic
analyses are coupled, and the structural stiffness plays an important role in the accurate …

In thick plate vibration theory, the governing equations are stated with a system of three
partial differential equations of motion with total deflection, which consists of bending …

The importance of hydroelastic analysis of large and flexible container ships of today is
pointed out for structure design. A methodology for investigation of this challenging …

Some results on the hydroelasticity of ultra large container ships related to the beam
structural model and restoring stiffness achieved within EU FP7 Project TULCS are …

This paper presents a frequency-domain method for the stress analysis of flexible floating
structures exposed to a spatially inhomogeneous wave field. A hydroelastic model is …

A novel theory of torsion of thin walled beams (“shear deformable beams”) of arbitrary open
cross-sections with influence of shear (TTTS) is presented. The theory is based on the …

This paper presents a bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded plates
(FGPs) resting on elastic foundation by using an original first shear deformation theory …
