On November 10, Professor Carlos Guedes Soares of the Center for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering (CENTEC) of the University of Lisbon, Portugal, visited the College of Ocean Science and Engineering and gave an academic report entitled Development of Ship collision and Stranding research. The lecture was chaired by Associate Professor Li Ruoxuan of the Department of Shipping and Marine Engineering, and some teachers and students of the College attended the lecture.
The special report focuses on the collision risk during maritime navigation, as well as the characteristics of structural plastic deformation and energy absorption during collision. According to different types of components in ship structure, including beams, plates and plates with stiffeners, this paper explains how to test their crash-resistance and energy absorption, and how to use correct Settings in finite element simulation.
Professor Carlos' presentation was rich and enlightening, which stimulated the interest of the teachers and students present in the study of energy absorption of structures. In the free exchange session of the report, the teachers and students present actively spoke and asked questions, and Professor Carlos had a warm interaction with the teachers and students, and gave full answers to various questions raised, and combined with different research directions of each student, gave strategic guidance. After the presentation, Professor Carlos took a group photo with the teachers and students.
The visit of Professor Carlos not only greatly strengthened the ties between Shanghai Maritime University and the University of Lisbon, but also laid a solid foundation for the cooperation between Portuguese universities, EU universities and Shanghai Maritime University, especially in the field of Ocean science and engineering. At the same time, it is also conducive to broaden the academic vision of young teachers and students, and improve the quality of graduate education and internationalization level of the school.
