On wave-induced stress in a ship executing symmetric motions

The equation of motion of a simple beam in head waves is solved in terms of modal responses. Examination of the resulting expression for wave-induced bending moment indicates that at lower wave frequencies large fluctuating stresses are generally associated with 'ship-wave matching', a phenomenon governed by the relative geometry of ship and wave; whereas large stresses in the higher frequency range are the result of 'resonant encounter' during which the encounter frequency of ship with wave corresponds to a natural vibration frequency of the ship as a beam. The contrasting characteristics of these different response mechanisms are shown to provide a rational explanation of the fluctuating stresses induced in large or flexible ships in confused seas.

Based on the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO), the method of determining the adhesion position of the damping material is proposed in this paper, which is applicable to the vibration damping of ship plate. In this method, the needed amount of damping material is taken as the constraint condition, and the maximization of one natural vibration frequency of the structure is taken as the target function. A thin plate structure with both ends constraints has been taken as an example to get the best topology structure of its adhesion damper by taking the BESO method. The result of optimization shows that it still meets the damping requirements when the needed amount of damping material decreases by about 50% of the original amount. The reasonable result demonstrates the effectiveness and engineering value of the method.

A methodology for calculating the correlation factors to combine the long-term dynamic stress components of ship structure from various loads in seas is presented. The methodology is based on a theory of a stationary ergodic narrow-banded Gaussian process. The total combined stress in short-tem sea states is expressed by linear summation of the component stresses with the corresponding combination factors. This expression is proven to be mathematically exact when applied to a single random sea. The long-term total stress is similarly expressed by linear summation of component stresses with appropriate combination factors. The stress components considered here are due to wave-induced vertical bending moment, wave-induced horizontal bending moment, external wave pressure and internal tank pressure. For application, the stress combination factors are calculated for longitudinal stiffeners in cargo and ballast tanks of a crude oil tanker at midship section. It is found that the combination factors strongly depend on wave heading and period in the short-term sea states. It is also found that the combination factors are not sensitive to the selected probability of exceedance level of the stress in the long-term sense.

Приводится анализ частоты собственных колебаний большепролетной фермы с фланцевыми соединениями. Выполнен расчет фланцевого соединения с различными случаями исключения болтов из работы соединения. Анализ результата расчета показал, что возникновение повреждений и дефектов конструкций здания в локальных зонах, величина которых несущественно снижает общую жесткость каркаса, практически не влияет на динамические характеристики каркаса. The analysis of the natural vibration frequency of a large-span truss with flanged connections is given. The calculation of the flange connection with various cases of exclusion of bolts from the connection operation is performed. Analysis of the calculation results showed that the occurrence of damage and defects in the building structures in local areas, the value of which significantly reduces the overall rigidity of the frame, practically does not affect the dynamic characteristics of the frame.

Abstract. In this paper, a coupled sea ice–wave model is developed and used to analyze the variability of wave-induced stress and breaking in sea ice. The sea ice module is a discrete-element bonded-particle model, in which ice is represented as cuboid "grains" floating on the water surface that can be connected to their neighbors by elastic "joints". The joints may break if instantaneous stresses acting on them exceed their strength. The wave part is based on an open-source version of the Non-Hydrostatic WAVE model (NHWAVE). The two parts are coupled with proper boundary conditions for pressure and velocity, exchanged at every time step. In the present version, the model operates in two dimensions (one vertical and one horizontal) and is suitable for simulating compact ice in which heave and pitch motion dominates over surge. In a series of simulations with varying sea ice properties and incoming wavelength it is shown that wave-induced stress reaches maximum values at a certain distance from the ice edge. The value of maximum stress depends on both ice properties and characteristics of incoming waves, but, crucially for ice breaking, the location at which the maximum occurs does not change with the incoming wavelength. Consequently, both regular and random (Jonswap spectrum) waves break the ice into floes with almost identical sizes. The width of the zone of broken ice depends on ice strength and wave attenuation rates in the ice.

A dry bulk carrier, a tanker, and a containership—taken as typical of ships trading to U.S. ports—are analyzed for possible hazards caused by emptying and refilling ballast tanks at sea. Using hydrostatic data furnished by the shipowners, hull bending moments and stabilities are investigated to find the tank-emptying operations that produce the greatest changes in those parameters. As should be expected, bending moment changes do not exceed allowable stillwater values. Changes in GM are insignificant. The worst hydrostatic cases serve as a guide to conditions that should be analyzed in rough water. The University of Michigan SHIPMO program shows that in waves of 10-ft significant height wave-induced bending moments and shears are far below the design values published by the American Bureau of Shipping. On the other hand, in waves of 20-ft significant height, the maximum wave heights that occur occasionally can cause moments or shears that exceed design values. For the 20-ft case, both linear and nonlinear versions of SHIPMO are used.

The recent advent of the large tanker and bulk carrier has promoted the requirements for more detailed structural analysis of a ship and the reevaluation of theories for calculating the static, quasistatic and dynamic loads. The paper begins with discussion of the methods available to determine the various types of loads expected, their phase relationship, and ways of superimposing them. It then proceeds to the treatment of sea loads based on theoretical and experimental data, and techniques of determining the ship response in a seaway are discussed. The response to regular waves is reviewed with special reference to the determination of pressure distribution on the hull. Statistical ship response, immediate and cumulative over the life of the ship, is demonstrated in relation to the prediction of long-term bending moment trends, and the distribution of the extremes is discussed. Special loading conditions are described with special emphasis on the transverse pressure distribution, dynamic effects due to motion of liquid cargo in tanks, shipping of green water, wave-induced vibrations, slamming pressures and whipping stresses due to various causes. The paper treats the above subjects in a broad manner and no attempt to illustrate the theory in detail is made.

This paper presents some results concerning the vertical response of two different ships sailing in regular and irregular waves. One ship is a containership with a relatively small block coefficient and with some bow flare while the other ship is a tanker with a large block coefficient. The wave-induced loads are calculated using a second-order strip theory, derived by a perturbational procedure in which the linear part is identical to the usual strip theory. The additional quadratic terms are determined by taking into account the nonlinearities of the exiting waves, the nonvertical sides of the ship, and, finally, the variations of the hydrodynamic forces during the vertical motion of the ship. The flexibility of the hull is also taken into account. The numerical results show that for the containership a substantial increase in bending moments and shear forces is caused by the quadratic terms. The results also show that for both ships the effect of the hull flexibility (springing) is a fair increase of the variance of the wave-induced midship bending moment. For the tanker the springing is due mainly to exciting forces which are linear with respect to wave heights whereas for the containership the nonlinear exciting forces are of importance.
