TRUSS: A Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network in the field of Structural Safety are a prestigious scheme funded by the European Union which aims to train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and ...
This paper reviews methodologies for fatigue analysis with emphasis on ship unloaders. Maintaining the performance of ship unloaders at a satisfactory level is essential for any port's operation in order to comply with the ...
High Density Spent Fuel Storage racks are steel structures designed to hold nuclear spent fuel assemblies removed from the nuclear power reactor. Weighing around 60 tons, they are 5m high free-standing structures resting ...
High Density Spent Fuel Storage (HDSFS) racks are structures designed to hold nuclear spent fuel assemblies removed from the nuclear power reactor after having been irradiated. They are used in the first step of the waste ...
This paper highlights the impact of dynamic amplification factors in remaining fatigue life assessment of ship unloaders. In practice, the widely accepted procedure for these structures is to carry out a fatigue life ...
Spent fuel racks are steel structures designed to store the spent fuel assemblies removed from the nuclear power reactor. In order to maximize the storage capacity of the pool, rack units are spaced by only a few centimeters ...
The growth of cities, the impacts of climate change and the massive cost of providing new infrastructure provide the impetus for TRUSS (Training in Reducing Uncertainty in Structural Safety), a €3.7 million Marie ...

A problem with fracture mechanics (FM) based fatigue analysis is that reliable information on initial crack/flaw size is often unavailable. Also, FM method cannot be applied directly to welded joints with relatively small ...
Over the past decades, crack propagation has been extensively studied by researchers around the word. The approach based on crack propagation models have been widely used in inspection planning. This approach has the ...
