With increasing attention to climate change,renewable energy generation has become a major topic for research anddevelopment. Wind and solar energy are generated on land, whereas wave, windand tidal energy generators are getting attention in the offshore domain. Anovel extension of onshore solar energy is the concept of...

Research to analyse and/or develop novel materials and techniques is necessary to address competition and safeguard craftmanship in shipbuilding. In this master thesis, two new approaches to reduce the production and maintenance costs are studied: {metal foam core, metal face sheet} sandwich materials and corner adstir fillet stationary shoulder...

In order to monitor elliptical fatigue crack growth in ferromagnetic steel using magnetic methods, analternative to the self magnetic flux leakage method must be derived as elliptical cracks can grow to significant sizes before they reach through the thickness of the plate material. An approach is sought by translating subtle changes in...

Correctly predicting the structural behavior of the Pioneering Spirit is vital for ensuring the structural integrity of the ship and the cargo. A detailed finite element model is used to predict the structural behavior of the Pioneering Spirit. The finite element method is based on fundamental principles in solid mechanics. However, when using...

In the field of fatigue testing in laboratory conditions, the common practice is uniaxial testing (i.e. in tension). The real-life loads on structures are usually not limited to one direction but contain multiaxial components. For this kind of testing, the ship and offshore structures department of Delft University of Technology developed a...

When a grounding incident occurs, the officer of the watch is usually unable to assess the severity of the damage. Most ships do have damage response procedures in place. In case of military ships these are well developed, where a well-trained crew, in the form of damage parties, is available to respond adequately. For non-navy ships, this is...

Fatigue crack monitoring is essential to Ship and Offshore structures, in order to guarantee structural integrity and safety on board. Regular inspections, which are currently performed manually are hazardous, costly and infrequent. The CrackGuard JIP has the goal of developing a system for reliable monitoring of fatigue cracks based on the...

A method has been developed with which the rigid-body motions, stress and fatigue damage response of a TLP-type FOWT are determined in time domain, with the aim of assessing the influence of non-linear hydrodynamic response on the fatigue damage. The dynamics are described by means of a system of coupled 6DOF-EoMs and solved in Matlab, after...

Fatigue cracks could occur in the material of offshore and marine structures that are cyclically loaded. These cracks occur due to the cyclic stresses induced by the waves causing premature failure. Monitoring these fatigue cracks using a wireless system gives the opportunity to guarantee the integrity of the structure without manual inspection,...

Bijleveld, Floriaan (author)
In the past decades the understanding of fracture of ductile material has increased substantially. Research has shown that the onset of fracture highly depends on the full state of stress inside the material. Better understanding of fracture resulted in more advanced and complex fracture models being conceived, allowing researchers to predict...

Troost, Niels (author)
Marine structures are mostly exposed to mild and moderate sea-states, where the structural response is elastic. Characteristics of environmental loading are highly stochastic in nature, resulting in stress-states that might be multiaxial. This thesis attempts to identify the source and effect of these multiaxial stress-states on fatigue damage...

van Rijn, Niels (author)
During fatigue crack growth of metallic structures, acoustic stress waves are introduced into the material. These acoustic emission waves are the result of the sudden stress release during the nucleation of the crack surface. Using dedicated acoustic emission monitoring equipment, these waves can be recorded. When multiple sensors are able to...

Research into multi-axial fatigue requires knowledge on the through time and thickness development of the propagating crack front. In order to provide this knowledge methods must be developed to monitor crack initiation and growth during a fatigue test. The acoustic emission method has been recognised as a possible means to this end. <br/...

When the Costa Concordia ran aground in Italy, it took 69 minutes to make the critical decision to abandon ship. The crew was unaware of the sheer size of the damage and the impact on the ship’s stability for too long. Instantaneous insight into the structural damage of the ship after running aground may be of great aid in such disasters. A...

On one hand, welded hulls of aluminium high speed craft are found to have a decreased displacement. On the other hand, ship stability is determined based on an inclination test and the design lines plan. The combination of reduced displacement, results of an inclination test and the design lines plan reduce the stability. This reduction is...
