　　　　■　Example １　：　Structural response analysis of very large floating structures (VLFS)

                                   → Applicable to detailed design of floating airports, NLP platform, etc. 

In Mega-Floating Project:

  • Numerical solution methods for water wave field around and wave loads on VLFS.

  • Global hydroelastic response analyses of VLFS

Challenging research subjects at hand:

  • Development of a rational multi-step structural analysis approach for estimating the strength of various inner structural members and the stress concentration around opening in bulkheads. 

        (1-step approach, 2-step approach, Global-Local FEM)
