• Fatigue Sensitivity Analysis of a Ship Structural Detail 

      Chirică, Ionel; Giuglea, Ștefan; Beznea, Elena-Felicia (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)
      In the paper, a FEM analysis used for fatigue assessment, based on the rules, was done. The approach for fatigue assessment in the early design stage of the ship structure has been developed. To overcome the challenges due ...
    • Postbuckling Behaviour of Composite Plates with Imperfections 

      Beznea, Elena-Felicia; Chirică, Ionel; Das, Purnendu K. (UDJG, 2010)
      The aim of the work presented in this paper is to analyze the influence of the imperfections on the changes in the buckling behaviour of ship deck plates made of composite materials. Thus, parametric analysis of the ...
    • Prediction of Buckling and Postbuckling Behaviour of Composite Ship Panels 

      Chirică, Ionel; Beznea, Elena Felicia; Chirică, Raluca; Boazu, Doina (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galați, 2007)
      The behavior of ship plating normally depends on a variety of influential factors, namely geometric/material properties, loading characteristics, initial imperfections, boundary conditions and deterioration arising from ...
    • Strength Analysis of a Composite Joint Used in Ship Structure 

      Rotaru, Florentina; Chirică, Ionel; Beznea, Elena Felicia (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galați, 2015)
      Low weight and high strength panels are always taken into account when designing materials for sandwich panel technology, which offers an efficient solution for different problems. Different types of sandwich panels are ...
    • The Structural Design Improvement of a Twin-Hull Ship 

      Presură, Adrian; Chirică, Ionel; Elena-Felicia, Beznea (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos' din Galați, 2015)
      The paper is focused on the strength analysis of the structure of twin-hull ships, particularly a passenger catamaran. Catamarans have some advantages against conventional monohulls: larger deck area and cargo volume, ...
