Advances In The Collision And Grounding Of Ships And Offshore Structures Hervé Le Sourne by Hervé Le Sourne, C. Guedes Soares, (eds.) 9781003462170, 1003462170 instant download after payment.

This book offers state-of-the-art developments in the collision and grounding of ship and offshore structures. The topics covered by the contributions include: dynamics of vessels in collision and grounding, collision and grounding in Arctic conditions, collision and grounding statistics and measures of the probability of incidents, risk assessment of collision and grounding, measures for reduction of collision and grounding, machine learning methods for the evaluation of probabilistic collision and grounding risk, new designs for improvement of structural resistance to collisions, analysis of ultimate strength of damaged ship structures; design of buffer bows to reduce collision consequences, innovative navigation systems for safer sea transportation, collision between ships and offshore structures, collision between ships and fixed or floating bridges, collision and grounding experiments, properties of materials under impact loadings; residual strength of damaged ships and offshore structures, hull girder response of ships under severe dynamic loadings. The book is aimed at naval architects, marine engineers and scientists.
