This paper deals with the fatigue assessment of three ship structural details. While local approaches, which are proposed in relevant literature and which nowadays are also widely applied in design practice, can successfully assess the fatigue strength of several welded joints, web-stiffened complex geometries show peculiar features, needing to...

Despite several potential advantages, relatively few studies and design support tools have been developed for floating vertical axis wind turbines. Due to the substantial aerodynamics differences, the analyses of vertical axis wind turbine on floating structures cannot be easily extended from what have been already done for horizontal axis wind...
