An innovative tourist submarine was studied by scale-model tests in a towing tank to determine its steering capabilities and detect motion instabilities during usual manoeuvres and emergency rising. Motion instabilities are caused by the combination of t...

Existing calibration methods for contact parameters of soil discrete elements are primarily based on a single physical property of soil (e.g., natural accumulation angle and shear characteristics). To solve this limitation, a calibration method based on ...

When the icebreaker sails in the polar region, it adopts continuous and ramming icebreaking operations. When the ice condition exceeds the design working condition, it uses the ramming icebreaking method to advance. The nonlinear icebreaking process and ...

The marginal ice zone (MIZ) is located at the junction of ice-covered areas and open water, where waves cause ice floes to break up and change their state of motion, thus threatening the safety of ships navigating the ice. This study employs the Structur...
