Ship structures must reliably endure extreme maritime conditions over extended service lives. In this context, ultimate strength—the maximum load a ship structure can sustain before failure—is of ...

ABSTRACT Structural stress methods are now widely used in fatigue life assessment of welded structures and structures with stress concentrations. The structural stress concept is based on the ...

Increasing use of engineering thermoplastics in the applications such as load bearing automotive components necessitates accurate characterization and material modeling for predicting part performance ...
