They have: “ Although considerable efforts can be made in predictions of ship wave loads during prototype design stage, there is still a real need for real-time monitoring of the stress state of ships during their service life. A set of structural safety monitoring system, which is intended to be used for full-scale ships’ hull stress monitoring and evaluation, has recently been developed by our research team. The stress monitoring system was fitted onboard the large-scale model for a preliminary trial and validation.”
