The fore area of the ships in extreme conditions is commonly subjected to external impact pressures such as bottom slamming and bow impact. The phenomenon combined with a poor design can lead to local structural damage (cracks, dents, buckling of plate panels) and malfunction to the installations on-board of the ship. In the present article, a comparison study between different steel material grades is performed for a VLCC fore peak structure subjected to external and internal dynamic pressures under the Harmonized Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers (H-CSR). Three steel grades generally used in the shipbuilding industry, one normal strength and two higher strength, are subjected for the assessment. The hull structure is built based on the benchmark crude oil carrier KVLCC2 surface developed by KRISO (Korea Research Institute for Ships and Ocean Engineering, and modelled with plate finite elements in FEMAP software. The study targets an optimization process to minimize the steel weight of the structural members by plate elements thickness reduction.

Abstract Dogal 600 and 800 DP are high-strength steels with a microstructure that contains ferrite, which is soft and formable, and martensite, which is hard and contributes to the strength of the steel. The designation relates to the lowest tensile strength. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CS-160. Producer or source: SSAB Swedish Steel Inc. and SSAB Swedish Steel.

Abstract YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 Steels comprise a series of high-strength, cold-rolled steels designed to meet performance and weight-saving objectives. They are an extension of Youngstown's series of hot-rolled high-strength steels (see Youngstown YS-T Steel, Alloy Digest SA-261, March 1971). The YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 steels have minimum yield strengths ranging from 50,000 psi to 140,000 psi. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-331. Producer or source: Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company.

Abstract Bethlehem Lukens Plate (BLP) offers five grades of Spartan high-strength steels with tensile yield strength over 690 MPa (100 ksi). These alloys contain copper for precipitation reactions. They also have improved weldability and toughness compared to ASTM A 514 and A 543 grades. This datasheet provides information on composition, microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming and joining. Filing Code: SA-518. Producer or source: Bethlehem Lukens Plate.
