      Gaidai, Oleg; Yakimov, Vladimir; Wang, Fang; Zhang, Fuxi; Balakrishna, Rajiv (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Fatigue damage prediction is essential for safety of contemporary offshore energy industrial projects, like offshore wind turbines, that are to be designed for sufficiently long operational period of time, with minimal ...
    • Future world cancer death rate prediction 

      Gaidai, Oleg; Yan, Ping; Xing, Yihan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-01)
      Cancer is a worldwide illness that causes significant morbidity and death and imposes an immense cost on global public health. Modelling such a phenomenon is complex because of the non-stationarity and complexity of cancer ...
    • Gaidai-Xing reliability method validation for 10-MW floating wind turbines 

      Gaidai, Oleg; Xing, Yihan; Xu, Jingxiang; Balakrishna, Rajiv (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In contrast to well-known bivariate statistical approach, which is known to properly forecast extreme response levels for two-dimensional systems, the research validates innovative structural reliability method, which is ...
    • Novel methods for coupled prediction of extreme wind speeds and wave heights 

      Gaidai, Oleg; Xing, Yihan; Xu, Xiaosen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Two novel methods are being outlined that, when combined, can be used for spatiotemporal analysis of wind speeds and wave heights, thus contributing to global climate studies. First, the authors provide a unique reliability ...
    • Novel methods for reliability study of multi-dimensional non-linear dynamic systems 

      Gaidai, Oleg; Xu, Jingxiang; Yan, Ping; Xing, Yihan; Wang, Kelin; Liu, Zirui (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      This research presents two unique techniques for engineering system reliability analysis of multi-dimensional non-linear dynamic structures. First, the structural reliability technique works best for multi-dimensional ...
    • Offloading operation bivariate extreme response statistics for FPSO vessel 

      Gaidai, Oleg; Cao, Yu; Xu, Xiaosen; Xing, Yihan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Floating Production Storage and Offloading unit (FPSO) is an offshore unit producing and storing crude oil prior to tanker transport. An important design concern is an accurate prediction of risky dynamic hawser tensions ...
    • Offshore tethered platform springing response statistics 

      Gaidai, Oleg; Xu, Jingxiang; Hu, Qingsong; Xing, Yihan; Zhang, Fuxi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      This paper demonstrates the validity of the Naess–Gadai method for extrapolating extreme value statistics of second-order Volterra series processes through application on a representative model of a deep water small size ...
    • Oil tanker under ice loadings 

      Gaidai, Oleg; Yan, Ping; Xing, Yihan; Xu, Jingxiang; Zhang, Fuxi; Wu, Yu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      As a result of global warming, the area of the polar pack ice is diminishing, making merchant travel more practical. Even if Arctic ice thickness reduced in the summer, fractured ice is still presenting operational risks ...
