Nowadays the finite element method (FEM) is an essential and powerful tool for solving structural problems not only in the field of shipbuilding but also in the design of most industrial products and even in non-structural fields. FEM can be used for a wide variety of problems in linear and nonlinear solid mechanics, dynamics, and ships’ structural stability problems, in accordance with the development of computer technology and its popularization.
