Marine Installations and Constructions

Dear Colleagues,

Processes and technologies of Marine Installations and Constructions are extremely various and continue to evolve and transform. Furthermore, in order to deal with different challenges, such as higher strength in combination with lower weight and good corrosion resistance, new materials and connection techniques are often required.

The aim of the Special Issue "Marine Installations and Constructions" is to publish high-quality papers, which ought to offer original ideas and new methodologies, with clear indication of the innovations with respect to existing solutions. Topics addressed in this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to:

• Static and fatigue design of offshore-welded structures;
• Inspection, repair and maintenance;
• Experimental techniques for fatigue analysis;
• Large-scale tests on marine and offshore structural details;
• Analysis of fatigue failure in welded and adhesive joints;
• Corrosion tests on marine and offshore-welded joints;
• Dynamic and fatigue design of mooring systems for offshore structures;
• Design and analysis of support structures for floating offshore wind turbines;
• Design and analysis of marine plants for wave energy extraction.

This is also a possibility to discuss the forthcoming perspectives of the field.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
