Results are presented of a benchmark study organised by the ISSC-ITTC Joint Committee on global linear wave loads container ship with forward speed. The aim is assessment uncertainty in transfer functions due to different seakeeping codes and consequences long-term extreme vertical bending moments. Seven institutes participated benchmark, fifteen codes, representative theories use nowadays. Thr...

In evaluating ultimate limit states for design, time-domain aeroelastic response simulations are typically carried out to establish extreme loads on offshore wind turbines. Accurate load prediction depends on proper modeling of the wind turbulence and the wave stochastic processes as well as of the turbine, the support structure, and the foundation. One method for modeling the support structure...

Several structures need their response to blast loads be investigated grant an acceptable survivability level. To this purpose, experimental campaigns are complex, but some numerical methods commonly exploited. The explosion pressure-time history is typically estimated characterizing the detonation of energetically equivalent involving a specific amount TNT. at point, fixed in space, involved b...
