Abstract

Concern for structural challenges of non-conventional, special surface craft, including uncertainties in established design methods and modelling techniques. Particular attention shall be given to mega yachts, naval craft, offshore service vessels and work boats, which can be characterized by particular structural configurations and materials (wide openings, large unsupported structures, unconventionally shaped superstructures, etc.) and/or are to sustain specific loading conditions (harsh environment, severe cyclic loads or extreme operational ones).
