As the development of the ocean extends to the deep and open seas, the application of multi-hull floating systems is becoming increasingly widespread, covering offshore oil and gas transfer and material replenishment operations. In multi-body floating systems, the hydrodynamic interactions between adjacent floating bodies significantly affect the overall motion response and load distribution. However, there is currently a lack...

Current studies on fatigue crack initiation in pipelines remain relatively limited. Existing frameworks are confronted with issues including difficulties in crack monitoring and limited consideration of intragranular short-crack propagation. To address these issues, a framework was proposed for predicting fatigue crack initiation life in pipelines with girth welds. The proposed framework incorporates full-scale testing, temper...

Introduction In recent years, as floating wind turbines advance into deeper waters, mooring systems represent a growing share of the overall investment. Shared mooring can simplify mooring arrangements and improve the economic efficiency of wind farms. However, it also increases the dynamic complexity of multi-turbine systems, introducing risks of high tension levels and snap events under extreme conditions, which must be addr...
