The Ship Technology Research ( Schiffstechnik) journal seeks to provide a sound and internationally-recognised platform for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in research, design and manufacture as well as operation and maintenance concerning ships and offshore structures. Engineers and researchers involved in the design and fabrication of ships and offshore structures are the primary audiences of interest.
The journal covers applied research in the following topics for ships and offshore structures:
• Resistance and propulsion in calm water and in waves
• Motions in waves and dynamic stability
• Wave loads, extreme and fatigue loads
• Fluid-structure interaction, whipping and springing
• Manoeuvring in calm water and in waves
• Slamming, sloshing and green-water loads
• Loads on appendages
• Cavitation and ventilation
• Ship dynamics in shallow and restricted waters
• Hydrodynamic interaction and multi-body problems
• Mooring, anchoring and station keeping
• Modelling of environment – wind and waves
• Development and validation of numerical methods
• Model tests and full-scale measurements
• Design loads and rule development
• Linear and nonlinear structural response for service loads and accidental actions
• Novel materials and material modeling including fatigue and fracture
• Design method developments and applications with a special focus on risk-based design methods as well as optimization techniques
• Design method developments and applications for Arctic conditions
• Life-cycle considerations and assessment incl. manufacture, inspection, monitoring, repair and maintenance
• Structural dynamics
• Strength and fatigue
• Mechanics of offshore structures
Papers submitted to the journal must be original and will be refereed to a high standard. Original research articles, review articles, case studies and technical notes are generally accepted for publication. Priority will be given to papers, which potentially have a large impact on design.
Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
