Deck structures subjected to drop-weight low-velocity impact are critical safety elements for ships and offshore structures. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to propose experimental research on dynamic responses of deck structures composed of stiffened plates subjected to drop-weight impact of a wedge impactor. The first step was to fabri...

Background: Fatigue damage is one of the main failure modes in ship structures. This type of damage usually starts from weak point of the structure as welded joints, sites of stress concentrations and cracks, whose propagation can lead to the failure of the ship structures. Cyclic loadings that ships encounter during their service life are one of t...

... In this scenario, the sample exhibited the highest load-carrying capacity (Fig. 9). It can be concluded that the maximum force sustained by the sample is influenced by the plate's stiffness (Sharif-Khodaei, Ghajari, and Aliabadi 2012;Yu et al. 2023). The increased stiffness enhances the load-carrying capacity of the plate, as evidenced by the higher maximum force sustained. ...
... As a key method to achieve a permanent connection between materials, welding is becoming more and more important in manufacturing [1,2], bridge and/or ship construction [3,4], vehicle engineering [5], the aerospace industry [6], and so on. Moreover, with the rapid development of the industrial robot [7], the application of welding processes will continue to be broadened with automation and intelligence. ...
An intelligent, vision-guided welding robot is highly desired in machinery manufacturing, the ship industry, and vehicle engineering. The performance of the system greatly depends on the effective identification of weld seam features and the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the weld seam position in a complex industrial environment. In this paper, a 3D visual sensing system with a structured laser projector and CCD camera is developed to obtain the geometry information of fillet weld seams in robot welding. By accounting for the inclination characteristics of the laser stripe in fillet welding, a Gaussian-weighted PCA-based laser center line extraction method is proposed. Smoother laser centerlines can be obtained at large, inclined angles. Furthermore, an improved chord-to-point distance accumulation (CPDA) method with polygon approximation is proposed to identify the feature corner location in center line images. The proposed method is validated numerically with simulated piece-wise linear laser stripes and experimentally with automated robot welding. By comparing this method with the grayscale gravity method, Hessian-matrix-based method, and conventional CPDA method, the proposed improved CPDA method with PCA center extraction is shown to have high accuracy and robustness in noisy welding environments. The proposed method meets the need for vision-aided automated welding robots by achieving greater than 95% accuracy in corner feature point identification in fillet welding.
