Nowadays, aluminium alloys are very popular for use in the marine industry. One of the most
important applications of aluminium in the marine industry is the construction of high-speed …

This paper presents a review and study on ultimate strength analysis methods for steel
plates and stiffened panels in axial compression. Buckling and collapsing mechanisms of …

Abstract An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model is developed as a reliable modeling
method for simulating and predicting the ultimate moment capacities for intermediate doubly …

The ultimate compressive strength of equivalent stiffened panels made of aluminium and
steel is analysed numerically and compared. This equivalence is established based on the …

This work reviews the ultimate compressive strength of aluminium plates and stiffened
panels. The effect of boundary condition, initial imperfection, welding-induced residual …

The collapse behaviour of stiffened panels under uniaxial compression load and lateral
pressure are investigated in the FE analysis, in which two spans model with periodical …

The manufacturing process of ships and offshore structures comprises several stages, which
include plate cutting, sub-assembly, block assembly, pre-erection, and erection. Accuracy …

As a sequel to another paper of the authors on welding-induced initial deformations [1], this
paper aimed to obtain a direct measurement database of welding-induced biaxial residual …

The objective of this study is to analyse numerically the ultimate strength of stiffened
aluminium panels built with extruded aluminium profiles. A finite element code is used to …

The aim of this paper is to develop computational models for the ultimate compressive
strength analysis of stiffened plate panels with nonuniform thickness. Modeling welding …
