The volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) nature of environmental and operational conditions is still the major cause of marine accidents, with knock-on effects in terms of casualties, property damage, and marine pollution. Recognized as the most effective approach to navigate VUCA environments, risk-based assessment methods provide a solution to address challenges associated with health, safety, and environmental protection in extreme conditions and when accidents involving engineering structures and infrastructure occur. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the foundational principles, current practices, and cuttingedge trends in quantitative risk assessment and management for ships and offshore structures. With six partsencompassing a total of 35 chapters, it covers risk assessment and management for offshore installations, oil and gas leaks, collisions and grounding, and fires and explosions. Tailored for ship and offshore structural engineers, naval architects, as well as mechanical and civil engineers involved in advanced safety studies, this book is an invaluable resource for both practicing engineers and researchers in this field.Offers insights into quantitative risk assessment and asset management for ships and offshore structures in extreme conditions and in the event of accidentsEquips engineers with valuable statistical data sets and enhances data assimilation techniques for precise hazard frequency calculationsSeamlessly integrates fundamental principles with practical applications, addressing emerging challenges and leveraging the latest technological advances in the field

Engineering dynamics and vibrations has become an essential topic for ensuring structural integrity and operational functionality in different engineering areas.

This unique compendium introduces FEM (Finite Element Methods) as a general numerical technique for the solution of various engineering problems.By keeping the mathematics simple, this reference volume includes a comprehensive presentation and analysis of algorithms of time-dependent phenomena plus beam, plate, and shell theories.Since the majority of applications of FEM are in the realm of mechanics including solid, fluids, structural and soil, descriptions in this book are focused on the important applications in structural engineering and science.

This book describes principles, industry practices and evolutionary methodologies for advanced safety studies, which are helpful in effectively managing volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments within the framework of quantitative risk assessment and management and associated with the safety and resilience of structures and infrastructures with tolerance against various types of extreme conditions and accidents such as fires, explosions, collisions and grounding. It presents advanced computational models for characterizing structural actions and their effects in extreme and accidental conditions, which are highly nonlinear and non-Gaussian in association with multiple physical processes, multiple scales, and multiple criteria. Probabilistic scenario selection practices and applications are presented. Engineering practices for structural crashworthiness analysis in extreme conditions and accidents are described. Multidisciplinary approaches involving advanced computational models and large-scale physical model testing are emphasized. The book will be useful to students at a post-graduate level as well as researchers and practicing engineers.
