<p>Trends in the Analysis and Design of Marine Structures is a collection of the papers presented at MARSTRUCT 2019, the 7th International Conference on Marine Structures held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, 6-8 May 2019. </p><p>The MARSTRUCT series of Conferences started in Glasgow, UK in 2007, the second event of the series having taken place in Lisbon, Portugal in March 2009, the third in Hamburg, Germany in March 2011, the fourth in Espoo, Finland in March 2013, the fifth in Southampton, UK in March 2015, and the sixth in Lisbon, Portugal in May 2017.</p><p>This Conference series specialises in dealing with Ships and Offshore Structures, addressing topics in the fields of: </p><p>- Methods and Tools for Loads and Load Effects<br>- Methods and Tools for Strength Assessment<br>- Experimental Analysis of Structures<br>- Materials and Fabrication of Structures<br>- Methods and Tools for Structural Design and Optimisation<br>- Structural Reliability, Safety and Environmental Protection.</p><p>Trends in the Analysis and Design of Marine Structures is an essential document for academics, engineers and all professionals involved in the area of analysis and design of Ships and Offshore Structures.</p><p>About the series: </p><p>The 'Proceedings in Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering' series is devoted to the publication of proceedings of peer-reviewed international conferences dealing with various aspects of 'Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering'. The Series includes the proceedings of the following conferences: the International Maritime Association of the Mediterranean (IMAM) conferences, the Marine Structures (MARSTRUCT) conferences, the Renewable Energies Offshore (RENEW) conferences and the Maritime Technology (MARTECH) conferences. The 'Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering' series is also open to new conferences that cover topics on the sustainable exploration and exploitation of marine resources in various fields, such as maritime transport and ports, usage of the ocean including coastal areas, nautical activities, the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources, the protection of the marine environment and its resources, and risk analysis, safety and reliability. The aim of the series is to stimulate advanced education and training through the wide dissemination of the results of scientific research.</p>

<p><strong>Sustainable Development and Innovations in Marine Technologies</strong> includes the papers presented at the 18th International Congress of the Maritime Association of the Mediterranean (IMAM 2019, Varna, Bulgaria, 9-11 September 2019).</p><p>Sustainable Development and Innovations in Marine Technologies includes a wide range of topics: Aquaculture & Fishing&#x3b; Construction&#x3b; Defence & Security&#x3b; Design&#x3b; Dynamic response of structures&#x3b; Degradation/ Defects in structures&#x3b; Electrical equipment of ships&#x3b; Human factors&#x3b; Hydrodynamics&#x3b; Legal/Social aspects&#x3b; Logistics&#x3b; Machinery & Control&#x3b; Marine environmental protection&#x3b; Materials&#x3b; Navigation&#x3b; Noise&#x3b; Non-linear motions - manoeuvrability&#x3b; Off-shore and coastal development&#x3b; Off-shore renewable energy&#x3b; Port operations&#x3b; Prime movers&#x3b; Propulsion&#x3b; Safety at sea&#x3b; Safety of Marine Systems&#x3b; Sea waves&#x3b; Seakeeping&#x3b; Shaft & propellers&#x3b; Ship resistance&#x3b; Shipyards&#x3b; Small & pleasure crafts&#x3b; Stability&#x3b; Static response of structures&#x3b; Structures, and Wind loads.</p><p>The IMAM series of Conferences started in 1978 when the first Congress was organised in Istanbul, Turkey. IMAM 2019 is the eighteenth edition, and in its nearly forty years of history, this biannual event has been organised throughout Europe. <b>Sustainable Development and Innovations in Marine Technologies </b>is essential reading for academics, engineers and all professionals involved in the area of sustainable and innovative marine technologies.</p>
