Structure

Technical Bulletin 2006

Summary

Our structural research is focussed on developing a detailed understanding of the way structures behave under specific loads experienced in practice.

In this section you can find papers which focus on the reaction of structures in very large containerships, offshore units and vlccs to whipping, springing and fatigue loads.

There are also papers detailing the methods of inspecting these structures efficiently.
