A new method of predicting hotspot stresses for longitudinal attachments with reduced element sensitivities

For the complicated structural details in ships and offshore structures, the traditional hotspot stress approaches are known to be sensitive to the element variables of element topologies, sizes, and integration schemes. This motivated to develop a new approach for predicting reasonable hotspot stre...
