Marine Structures

Marine Structures provides a medium for presentation and discussion of the latest developments in research, design, fabrication, transport/installation and in-service experiences relating to the field of Marine Structures .

Marine Structures aims to advance knowledge specifically for Marine Structures that are constructed of steel, concrete, or new materials . It publishes topics on the classical areas of ships, fixed, mobile and floating offshore platforms, infrastructures, moorings, pipelines, cables, risers and subsea systems . Submissions on new and emerging research topics, including offshore renewable energies, aquaculture systems, underwater vehicles for offshore operations and related machine learning applications, are particularly welcome.

The journal publishes topics including:

• Ocean environmental design conditions and associated,

• Loads exerted by waves, currents, wind, tides, ice and ground motions,

• Seabed foundations, anchoring systems and interaction with marine structural systems,

• Evaluation of static and dynamic structural responses including collapse behaviour,

• Fatigue and fracture,

• Materials selection, corrosion and other forms of degradation applied to marine structures,

• Formulation and application of design methods and criteria including system reliability analysis, and optimization techniques,

• Inspection, structural health monitoring, maintenance and lifetime extension,

• Fabrication, transport, installation and decommissioning techniques,

• Resilient design of marine systems,

• Application of machine learning methods and data-driven models for strength and/or load/response predictions of marine structures,

Marine Structures does not accept submissions on the following topics:

• Underwater acoustics,

• Underwater explosions,

• Military applications.
