Ships and Offshore Structures

期刊简介：Ships and Offshore Structures is an international, peer-reviewed journal which provides an authoritative forum for publication and discussion of recent advances and future trends in all aspects of technology across the maritime industry.The Journal covers the entire range of issues and technologies related to both ships (including merchant ships, war ships, polar ships etc.) and offshore structures (floating and fixed offshore platforms, offshore infrastructures, underwater vehicles etc.) with a strong emphasis on practical design, construction and operation. Papers of interest to Ships and Offshore Structures will thus be broad-ranging, and will include contributions concerned with principles, theoretical/numerical modelling, model/prototype testing, applications, case studies and operational records, which may take advantage of computer-aided methodologies, and information and digital technologies. Whilst existing journals deal with technologies as related to specific topics, Ships and Offshore Structures provides a systematic approach to individual technologies, to more efficiently and accurately characterize the functioning of entire systems. The Journal is intended to bridge the gap between theoretical developments and practical applications for the benefit of academic researchers and practising engineers, as well as those working in related governmental, public policy and regulatory bodies.

【译文】《船舶与海上结构》是一本国际性的同行评审期刊，为海事行业技术各方面最新进展和未来趋势的权威论坛。该期刊涵盖了与船舶（包括商船、战船、极地船等）和海上结构（浮动和固定海上平台、海上基础设施、水下车辆等）相关的所有问题和技术的整个范围，特别强调实际设计、建设和运营。因此，对《船舶与海上结构》感兴趣的文章将范围广泛，包括与原理、理论/数值模拟、模型/原型测试、应用、案例研究和运营记录相关的贡献，这些贡献可以利用计算机辅助方法、信息和数字技术。虽然现有的期刊处理与特定主题相关的技术，但《船舶与海上结构》提供了一种对个别技术的系统方法，以更有效地和准确地描述整个系统的功能。该期刊旨在弥合理论发展与实际应用之间的差距，以造福学术研究人员、实践工程师以及相关政府、公共政策和管理机构的工作人员。
