Research on the Connector Loads of a Multi-Module Floating Body with Hinged Connector Based on FMFC Model

VLFSs (Very Large Floating Structures) are often assembled by multiple modules through connectors where the connector structure is prone to stress concentration. Therefore, the loads at the connectors have become a significant focus in VLFS design. In this paper, the FMFC (Flexible Module Flexible C...
