The present work is part of a collaborative H2020 European funded research project called SENSKIN, that aims to improve Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for transport infrastructure through the development of an innovative monitoring and management system for bridges ...

Abstract This work develops a risk-based framework for a ship and structural design accounting for maintenance planning. The risk analysed here covers structural failure where, it is deemed as a failure when the structural capacity is less than the subjected loads, redu...

The fluctuation of fuel price levels, along with the continuous endeavour of the shipping industry for economic growth and profits has led the shipbuilding industry to explore new designs for various types of merchant ships. Moreover, the introduction of new regulations...

This article presents the identification of dynamic properties of a stone masonry building, followed by numerical simulation of its dynamic response accounting for soil-foundation-structure interac...

Abstract Ship acceleration manoeuvre is important in terms of safety and engine performance. Head seaways are one of the most challenging conditions for the ship propulsion. A detailed simulation of the propulsion system's transient response during dynamic acceleration ...

Part 7: Lean Organization for Industry 4.0; International audience; Lean focuses on the reduction of wastes, optimization of processes and consideration of the production of highly customized systems. Over the past decade the maritime industry has been working to apply ...

Abstract The present study reports results of Large Eddy Simulations (LES) in towed and self-propelled conditions for the DARPA SUBOFF (DSub), a notional submarine geometry, at a Reynolds number, based on the model length, L, and the free-stream velocity, U∞, equal to R...

Abstract. For the design and optimisation of offshore wind turbines, the knowledge of realistic environmental conditions and utilisation of well-founded simulation constraints is very important, as both influence the structural behaviour and power output in numerical si...

ABSTRACTThis work investigates the use of an advanced long-term vibration-based structural health monitoring tool to automatically detect earthquake-induced damages in heritage structures. Damage produced in a monumental bell-tower at increasing values of the Peak Groun...
