- Analysis of recent catastrophic failures of ultra-large cargo ships (MOL Comfort, MSC Napoli) have shown that their collapse is associated to ultra-low cycle fatigue where the ships "backbone" fails after several sequential extreme wave loads. This paper proposes, for the first time, a robust analytical method to simulate this type of cyclic failure. The method follows an industry-standard code-based format to enable immediate uptake in design standards. The work has stimulated a joint research collaboration with Japanese and US partners and will contribute to the next generation of coupled hydrodynamic-structural simulation methods which will become standard within the next decade.
