Over the past decades there have been many losses of the merchant vessels due to either accidents or exposure to large environmentally induced forces. The potential for the structural capabilitydegrading effects of both corrosion and fatigue induced cracks are of profound importance and must be both

โฆ Synopsis
This paper addresses the collapse strength of rectangular steel plates under uniaxial compressive stress. A set of typical patterns of initial distortions are simulated so as to represent a random sample of typical distortions in ship plating. The strength of the set of initially distorted plates is calculated using a non-linear finite element code. A Monte-Carlo simulation of the steel properties is performed and incorporated in the description of the plates to be calculated. The variability of the resulting ultimate plate strength was observed to depend on plate slenderness, thus confirming previous results from an analytically based approach.

The aim of the present study is to obtain experimental data on the ultimate strength of steel plates under dynamically applied axial compressive loads. A series of dynamic collapse tests were carried out on steel plate models under axial compressive loads, varying the loading speed. Based on the tes
The basis for design of stiffened plates under longitudinal compression is outlined and predictions using several codes are compared against numerical results from an inelastic beam-column formulation and test results. In order to explore the inherent differences in column behaviour separately from
