...Efrén Ayala-Uraga; Torgeir Moan An efficient time-variant reliability formulation for the safety assessment of an aging floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels with the presence of through-thickness cracks (i.e., long cracks), is presented in this paper. Often in ship structures...

...Ge Wang; John Spencer; Haihong Sun Damages to ships due to corrosion are very likely, and the likelihood increases with the aging of ships. Risk and reliability approaches are more and more frequently applied in design and maintenance planning. These advanced approaches require reliable data...
