The structure of the hull of the project 1288 trawler in a region of fore hold was improved to ensure fatigue strength of assemblies of the intersection of main frames with the second bottom. To this end, a study of the fatigue strength of these assemblies was carried out for the original side structure and two versions of its modernization. Values of internal forces at the points of appearance of fatigue cracks in the compartment have been determined for three design versions of the side. It was found that the greatest forces act in the middle of the fore half of the compartment. Calculations of parameters of the long-term distribution of magnitudes of ranges of total equivalent operating stresses according to the Weibull law in the points of occurrence of fatigue cracks for different design versions of the side grillage have been performed. These parameters were determined for the middle of the fore hold of the vessel and for the areas in which maximum values of bending moment ranges are in effect with and without corrosive wear. Values of total fatigue damage and durability of the studied assemblies were determined. Calculations were carried out by nominal stress method, hot spot stress method, and experimental and theoretical method. It was shown that in order to ensure fatigue strength of the assembly under consideration, it is necessary to extend the intermediate frames of the original version of the side structure to the level of the second bottom fixing them to the deck. It is also necessary to attach a cargo platform to the side thus reducing the frame span. As a result, the level of fatigue damage over 25 years of operation will decrease by about 3.5 times. As it was found, approximate consideration of the slamming effect does not significantly increase the amount of fatigue damage to the assembly. The results of the development of recommendations for modernization of the side structure can be implemented both on ships of the 1288 project and on other ships with a transverse side framing system.

Abstract Several methods for modelling and finite element analysis of tubular welded joints are described in various design codes. These codes provide specific recommendations for modelling of the welded joints, using simple weld geometries. In this paper, experimental hot-spot strain range results from a full-scale automatically welded K-node test are compared to corresponding finite element models. As part of investigating the automatically welded K-joint, 3D scans of the weld surfaces have been made. These scans are included in the FE models to determine the accuracy of the FE models. The results are compared to an FE model with a simple weld geometry based on common offshore design codes and a model without any modelled weld. The results show that the FE model with 3D scanned welds is more accurate than the two simple FE models. As the weld toe location of the 3D scanned weld is difficult to locate precisely in the FE model and as misplacement of strain gauges are possible, stochastic finite element modelling is performed to analyse the resulting probabilistic hot-spot stresses. The results show large standard deviations, showing the necessity to evaluate the hot-spot stress method when using 3D scanned welds.

Hollow Structural Sections

A number of fatigue experiments and stress concentration factor measurements on non-90°, square hollow section X-connections have been carried out. Comparison of the measured stress concentration factors with those derived from existing parametric formulae for 90° T- and X-connections showed a strong influence of the brace angle. A tentative extension of the range of validity of the parametric formulae for 90° T- and X-connections for other brace angles has been derived.Key words: steel structures, connections, fatigue, hollow structural sections, hot spot stress, stress concentration factors.
