  Thermo-mechanical Tensioning: A Distortion Mitigation Tool for Shipbuilding Industry

  By O P Sha, Amith Gadagi, Sharat Kumar, N.R. Mandal

  Abstract: Thin plates are widely used in ship building to lower the weight of the hull structure so as to have a gain in pay load as well as to improve fuel efficiency. But the fabrication of the structures involving the thin plates suffers weld induced buckling because of their lower critical buckling strength. So, there is a need to mitigate these weld induced buckling distortions by employing proper distortion control …

  Estimation of Shallow Water Effects Using Empirical and Numerical Methods for Inland Vessels

  By O P Sha, D.S.Ch. Praveen, Mohammed Ashique

  Abstract: Due to the increased demand for transportation of cargoes through waterways, there is a need for more and efficient inland vessels. The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) has planned initiatives to augment the inland waterways sector through strategic development, complementing one activity with others to ensure efficient and effective movement of goods within the country for in-bound and out-bound destinations. A key element of this plan will be the …
