This review paper thoroughly investigates the challenges associated with constructing polar
icebreakers, given the increasing feasibility of Arctic navigation attributed to global warming …

The complexity of the loading conditions makes it challenging to accurately predict the
damage evolution and resulting ductile fracture in materials and structures. This paper …

Abstract The International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress 2022 (ISSC 2022) held in
September 2022 covered most of the essential topics related to marine and offshore …

Natural gas is the cleanest energy source compared to other fossil fuels. When the
temperature is between− 160 ºC to− 164 ºC at atmospheric pressure, natural gas will be in …

This paper introduces a rate-dependent extension of the Hosford-Coulomb ductile fracture
initiation model combined with a non-local localized necking criterion (rate-dependent …

The potential risk associated with the accidental release of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a
notable concern during the design phase of gas-handling facilities. One of the risk is an …

Manufacturing superhydrophobic metallic surfaces with desired water adhesion for intended
applications such as anti-icing and microdroplets transportation remains a grand challenge …

This study explores the use of localized necking for failure modeling in maritime crash
analysis, using large shell elements. The assumption that the failure of a large shell element …

A comparison is made of the ductility limits of one mild (normal) and two high-tensile
strength shipbuilding steels with an emphasis on stress state and loading path dependency …

In this paper, a validation study of a recently proposed rate-dependent shell element fracture
model using quasi-static and dynamic impact tests on square hollow sections (SHS) made …
