Progressive Collapse Analysis

Ultimate hull girder strength in longitudinal bending is the most important strength of ship structure. In the present paper, firstly, historical review is made regarding the research activities regarding the ultimate hull girder strength evaluation. Then, focusing on the Smith’s method, possibility of simplified method is discussed including what are the limitations of a simple method and how it can be extended to more general situation. A simple method is introduced to derive average stress-average strain relationships of stiffener elements with attached plating. At the end, results of some example calculation are introduced to demonstrate the effectiveness of a simple method for progressive collapse analysis of a ship hull girder.

Progressive Collapse Analysis

Recent progress in the development and application of the ISUM plate element is highlighted with a particular focus on its application to the progressive collapse analysis of a ship hull structure. The plate element is characterized by idealized shape functions for defection based on buckling collapse mode and a simple procedure for element formulation similar to that for standard displacement-based finite elements. The formulation of the plate element under in-plane loads is presented, and then the plate element and the plate-stiffener combination model are applied to the progressive collapse analysis of a hull-girder cross section and double bottom structure. The development of a total system for motion/collapse analysis of a whole ship in waves is also presented. The effectiveness of these ISUM models is demonstrated.

Progressive Collapse Analysis

This study examined the hull girder strength of intact and damaged ships by adopting the incremental-iterative method for progressive collapse analysis, which was extended to the general case of the unsymmetrical bending of beams with an arbitrary cross-section. The sources of an unsymmetrical loading, including rotation of the loading plane and section asymmetry caused by structural damage, are described. A fast and robust procedure is presented to determine the translation and rotation of the instantaneous neutral axis at each curvature increment when applying Smith’s progressive collapse analysis method. A series of analyses were conducted on a double hull VLCC and a bulk carrier, considering various loading plane angles and damage conditions. The decrease in ultimate strength and the influences of rotation of the instantaneous neutral axis and ship heeling are discussed. The proposed method can be used for a rapid and rational assessment of the hull girder strength under adverse conditions.

Progressive Collapse Analysis

Abstract Nowadays, with the increasing operational life of ships, the aging effects on their structural behavior need to be investigated precisely. With the corrosive marine environment taken into consideration, one of the important effects of aging that must be studied is thickness degradation. In this paper, with the use of previously proposed equivalent thickness formulations for corroded plates, the progressive collapse analysis software HULLST is enhanced, and then, the effects of different corrosion models of uniform, random, pitting, and tanker pattern types on the ultimate and residual strengths of a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel hull girder are evaluated for the ages of 0 to 25 years. Results reveal that the uniform corrosion and random corrosion models have close outcomes. The value of relative reduction in the ultimate strength of ship hull girder (compared with the intact condition) ranges roughly from 6% for the age of 5 years to 17% for the age of 25 years in the hogging mode. The relative reduction in the ultimate strength ranges from 4% to 16% in the sagging mode. Pitting corrosion and tanker pattern (random) corrosion models lead to higher relative reductions in ultimate strength. The pitting corrosion model leads to a 16%–32% relative reduction in the ultimate strength for the ages of 5–25 years of the ship in either hogging or sagging. The tanker pattern (random) corrosion model leads to a 6%–37% relative reduction in the ultimate strength in the hogging mode and 3%–31% in the sagging mode at ship ages of 5 to 25 years.

Progressive Collapse Analysis

Failure of a ship hull girder is a very important failure mode, which is normally catastrophic and has severe consequences. It is of great importance to predict accurately the ultimate strength of a hull girder so that an adequate but not excessive safety margin for this failure can be ensured in the ship design. This study proposes a method for reliability-based analysis of the ultimate strength of a hull girder. The reliability method is interactively integrated with progressive collapse analysis so that the uncertainties in individual random variables relating to the prediction of the ultimate strength of a hull girder can be accurately considered in reliability analysis and that sensitivity factors of these random variables can be probabilistically evaluated. The ultimate strength will be evaluated using a progressive collapse analysis methodology with the appropriate individual element stress-strain curves derived interactively. The method is applied to two example structures and the sensitivities of the reliability to the random variables are presented.
