The prevailing trend in marine engineering towards large-scale ship design inherently reduces structural rigidity, amplifying fluid–structure interaction effects during extreme wave loading scenarios. Conventional ultimate strength assessment f...
Freak waves have caused numerous accidents resulting in the collapse of ship structures due to structural plasticity, buckling, and instability, leading to the loss of life and property. Consequently, there is a growing academic interest in understan...
Large waves cause a great number of collapsed-ship accidents, resulting in the loss of many lives and properties. It has been found that most of these collapses are caused by encountering oblique waves. As a result, the ship structure experiences a c...
Rock yielding may well take place during hydraulic fracturing in deep reservoirs. The prevailing models based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) are incapable of describing the evolution process of hydraulic fractures accurately. In this...
