Author Information

Shengming Zhang is currently a Principal Specialist at Lloyd’s Register (UK), Marine Technology Department where he joined in 1999 after obtained a PhD in ship structures on ship collision analysis from Technical University of Denmark. Prior to this, he received a MSc on structural dynamics from China Ship Scientific Research Centre in 1988 and obtained a BSc on solid mechanics and mathematics at Lanzhou University, China in 1985. His primary research fields and interests are on developments of ship rules and design assessment procedures for ship collision and grounding, fatigue design assessment, buckling and ultimate strength assessment. He was a Member of Fatigue & Fracture Committee (2009-2012) and Ultimate Strength Committee (2006-2009 and 2012-2015) of International Ship and Offshore Structure Congress (ISSC). Preben Terndrup Pedersen was a Professor in marine structures at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) from 1973 to 2010 and Head of Mechanical Engineering Faculty from 1992 to 2007. He has a PhD in solid mechanics from DTU, and has received a Dr. Honoris Causa from NTNU, Norway. He is a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. His main fields of research interest are: load on and response of ships and offshore structures, ship collisions and grounding, risk analyses related to maritime activities and major bridges. Presently he is a Professor emeritus at DTU. He was Chairman of ISSC (1985-1988), Member of Committee Collisions and Grounding of ISSC (2003-2006). Richard Villavicencio graduated in 2001 from the Austral University of Chile with a Naval Architecture degree. After working six years for MARCO Group - Shipyard Division he enrolled in the PhD program in Marine Structures at Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon, investigating the response of ship structural components to impact loading. He is currently a Senior Specialist at Lloyd’s Register working on design assessment of ship structures and components and conducting research in the fields of ship collisions and impact loads. He was a Member of the Technical Committee Fatigue and Fracture of ISSC (2015-2018). As of 2016, he is a Member of the Scientific Committee of the International Conference on Collision and Grounding of Ships and Offshore Structures (ICCGS).
