Multidirectional face-contact connection for complex-configuration platforms

Abstract
En 中文
• A multidirectional face-contact connector is proposed for complex-configuration floating platforms. • The load transfer and constraint characteristics of the face-contact mechanism are systematically revealed. • An experimental–numerical framework is established to evaluate the stiffness and load-sharing performance of the connector. • The proposed connector significantly reduces local connection loads and stress concentration under complex loading conditions.
