	abstract = {New technologies typically involve innovative aspects that are not addressed by the existing normative standards and hence are not assessable through common certification procedures. To ensure that new technologies can be implemented in a safe and reliable manner, a specific kind of assessment is performed, which in many industries, e.g., the energy sector, is known as Technology Qualification (TQ). TQ aims at demonstrating with an acceptable level of confidence that a new technology will function within specified limits. Expert opinion plays an important role in TQ, both to identify the safety and reliability evidence that needs to be developed, and to interpret the evidence provided. Hence, it is crucial to apply a systematic process for eliciting expert opinions, and to use the opinions for measuring the satisfaction of a technology\&$\#$39;s safety and reliability objectives. In this paper, drawing on the concept of assurance cases, we propose a goal-based approach for TQ. The approach, which is supported by a software tool, enables analysts to quantitatively reason about the satisfaction of a technology\&$\#$39;s overall goals and further to identify the aspects that must be improved to increase goal satisfaction. The three main components enabling quantitative assessment are goal models, expert elicitation, and probabilistic simulation. We report on an industrial pilot study where we apply our approach for assessing a new offshore technology.},

	abstract = {Weight-critical marine structures, such as high-speed craft, are often made of high-strength aluminium, and the usual joining method is welding. To improve the performance of high-speed craft there is a tendency to seeking lighter weight materials, especially in parts of the structure where weight-saving is particularly beneficial, such as in the superstructure. Light-weight materials can be fibre-reinforced composites. When joining structures made of composites to components of aluminium or steel, welding is no longer an option. On the other hand, adhesive bonding becomes an attractive joining method. Thus, there is a need to investigate the strength of bonded steel-composite joints. In the present paper, the stress distribution and strength of bonded double-lap steel-composite joints are investigated through theoretical analysis and experimental testing. The strength of a set of joints, with a variety of overlap lengths and two different bonding techniques and environmental conditions, has been measured experimentally. Furthermore, a new elastic-plastic stress analysis, accounting for adhesive shear deformations as well as axial and shear deformations in the adherends, has been derived. Predictions using the new theory derived herein as well as linear models are compared with the reported results. It is clearly demonstrated that linear theories are completely inappropriate for modelling such joints when loaded to failure. On the other hand, the strength predictions obtained by the new nonlinear theory agree well with the experimental results.},
