Quasi-Static Analysis of ship Structures: Recent Advances in Australia

Abstract Recent quasi-static analysis methods applied to ship structures presented by Australian organisations are summarised and reviewed. Areas of research have included advances in strength assessment approaches, calculation procedures, and the structural response of composites and sandwich structures. Developments in design, maintenance, monitoring, and classification society rules relevant to ship structures are also noted. Research drivers relevant to quasi-static response analysis are identified such as the increasing use of composite structures in ships, and the cost of ownership and operation of aging ships.
