Engineering Safety Requirements for Maritime Autonomous Surface Systems: Hazard Scenarios, Control Loss, and Recovery in Degraded Operations

This paper presents a scenario-based system safety engineering approach that analyzes 80 publicly documented maritime autonomous surface system scenarios to develop a hazard taxonomy, control-loss pathway model, and specific recovery-oriented safety requirements, demonstrating that safe operation depends more on explicitly defined degraded modes and fallback behaviors than on autonomy levels alone.

Coupled magneto-fluid and thermo-mechanical simulation with experimental validation of the evolution of the molten zone during resistance spot welding

This paper presents a novel fully coupled Electro-Thermo-Magneto-Mechanical-Hydrodynamic (ETMMHD) finite element model, validated against experimental data on DP600 steel, which significantly improves the prediction of molten zone evolution and expulsion phenomena in resistance spot welding by incorporating fluid flow dynamics neglected in classical models.
