Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As our global reliance on maritime transportation continues to grow, the imperative to develop robust and resilient structures becomes increasingly vital. The studies featured in this Special Issue span a spectrum of disciplines, from naval architecture and marine engineering to materials science and structural analysis. By bringing together diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research, the Special Issue serves as a platform for professionals and researchers to exchange insights, share the best practices and foster collaboration in the pursuit of safer and more reliable maritime structures. The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Resistance improvement of maritime structures to risks and reliability;
  • Material selection on the safety of structures in extreme marine environments;
  • Seismic performance assessment of ships and ocean engineering structures;
  • Corrosion and fatigue influence of marine structures over long-term use;
  • Application of new materials, such as composite materials, in marine engineering structures;
  • Integration of smart sensors and monitoring systems for the real-time monitoring of marine structures;
  • Modern autonomous navigation technology;
  • Digital technology and data analysis system to assist maintenance plans for marine structures.

This research focuses on the experimental investigation of the low-cycle fatigue characteristics of marine structural steel. The study aimed to explore the behavior of marine-grade steel under low-cycle fatigue conditions. The experimental parameters include the fatigue life of the material, crack propagation behavior, and a comprehensive analysis of mechanical properties associated with various loading conditions. Based on the experimental results, a low-cycle fatigue crack propagation rate model for marine structural steel plates was established using CTOD as a characterization parameter. The primary objective of this research is likely to enhance the durability and safety of maritime structures, providing valuable technical insights for the field of naval engineering. Full article
