The aim of the present study is to develop more advanced design formulations for the ultimate strength of ship plating than available at present. Plate ultimate strength subject to any combination of the following four load components—longitudinal compression/tension, transverse compression/tension, edge shear, and lateral pressure loads—is addressed. The developed formulations are designed to be more sophisticated than existing theoretically based simplified methods. The influence of post-weld initial imperfections in the form of initial deflections and residual stresses is taken into account. It has been previously recognized that a single ultimate strength interaction equation cannot successfully represent the ultimate limit state of long and/or wide plating under all possible combinations of load components involved. This is due to the fact that the collapse behavior of the long and/or wide plating depends primarily on the predominant load components, implying that more than one strength interaction formulations may be needed to more properly predict the plate ultimate limit state. In this regard, the present study derives three sets of ultimate strength formulations for the long and/or wide plating under the corresponding primary load by treating lateral pressure as a secondary dead load. The ultimate strength interaction formula under all of the load components involved is then derived by a relevant combination of the individual strength formulas. The validity of the proposed ultimate strength equations is studied by comparison with nonlinear finite-element analyses and other numerically based solutions.

The aim of the present study is to develop closed-form formulations for the ultimate strength of simply supported steel plating subject to a combination of longitudinal axial load, edge shear, and lateral pressure. The post-weld initial imperfections (initial deflections and residual stresses) are included in the strength formulations as parameters of influence. By solving the equilibrium and compatibility governing differential equations of large-deflection plate theory, the membrane stress distribution inside the plating under axial and lateral pressure loads is formulated in closed form. The ultimate strength formulation for plating under axial load and lateral pressure is then derived under the assumption that the ultimate limit state is reached if the plate edges yield. An empirical formula for the plate ultimate shear strength is suggested based on numerical FE solutions. A relevant ultimate strength relationship between axial load and edge shear is then proposed by combining the two sets of the ultimate strength formulations. As another contribution, the effective width formulation for plating under combined axial compression and edge shear which allows for the shear lag effect caused by lateral pressure as well as the influence of post-weld initial imperfections is developed. The validity of the proposed ultimate strength formulations is shown by comparing with experimental results and nonlinear finite-element analyses. Modeling uncertainty of the developed plate ultimate strength formula against the experimental and numerical results is studied in terms of bias and coefficients of variation.

The objectives of the present study are to obtain experimental data on collapse strength of steel corrugated bulkhead models and also to develop a simple analytical formulation for ultimate strength useful in the design of corrugated bulkheads under static lateral pressure. Collapse tests on nine mild steel corrugated bulkhead models having five bays of corrugations are carried out, varying the corrugation angle, the plate thickness and the type of loading (axial compression and/or lateral pressure). Using the test data, the characteristics of the collapse mechanism for corrugated bulkheads are investigated. For purposes of rapid first cut estimates of strength, a new and simple analytical formulation for predicting the ultimate strength of corrugated bulkheads under hydrostatic pressure is derived based on an assumed stress distribution over the corrugation cross section at the ultimate limit state. The modeling error associated with the new formulation is established by comparing its predictions with the experimental results. The development of ultimate strength based design guidelines and the effect of design parameters such as the corrugation angle on ultimate strength of a corrugated bulkhead are then discussed. All experimental information and strength data are tabulated, which is a benefit in itself.

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the ultimate strength characteristics of a longitudinally stiffened panel with cracking damage and under axial compressive or tensile loads. A series of nonlinear finite element analyses are undertaken with varying the size and location of cracking damage. A relevant theoretical model for predicting the ultimate strength of the stiffened panel with cracking damage is studied. The insights and results developed from the present study will be very useful for the ultimate limit state-based risk or reliability assessment of aging steel plated structures with cracking damage.

This research aims to study the ultimate limit state (ULS) behaviour of stiffened panel under longitudinal compression by a non-linear finite element method (NLFEM). There are different types of stiffeners mainly being used in shipbuilding, i.e., T-bar, flat-bar, and angle-bar. However, this research focuses on the ultimate compressive strength behaviour of flat-bar stiffened panel. A total of 420 reliable scenarios of flat-bar stiffened panel were selected for numerical simulation by the ANSYS NLFEM. The ultimate strength behaviours obtained were used as data for the development of closed form shape empirical formulation. Recently, our group proposed an advanced empirical formulation for T-bar stiffened panel, and the applicability of the proposed formulation to flat-bar stiffened panel is confirmed by this study. The accuracy of the empirical formulation obtained for flat-bar stiffened panel was validated by finite element (FE) simulation results of statistical analysis (R2 = 0.9435). The outcome obtained will be useful for ship structural designers in predicting the ultimate strength performance of flat-bar type stiffened panel under longitudinal compression.

The present paper is a summary of recent research and developments related to some core ultimate limit state (ULS) technologies for design and strength assessment of aluminum multi-hull ship structures, jointly undertaken by Pusan National University, Virginia Tech, U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center and Alcan Marine. An extensive study on the subject has been undertaken by the authors theoretically, numerically and experimentally. Methods to analyze hull girder loads / load effects, stiffened panel ultimate strength and hull girder ultimate strength of aluminum multi-hull ship structures are developed in the present study. Application examples of the methodologies for the ULS structural design and strength assessment of a hypothetical 120m long all aluminum catamaran fast ship structure are presented. Important insights and conclusions developed from the present study are summarized. Some of the comparisons have shown that 5383 called Sealium (a patented Alcan Marine alloy) is superior to the standard aluminum alloy 5083 in terms of material properties, ULS characteristics and welding performance. It is our hope that the methods developed from the present study will be useful for ULS design and strength assessment of aluminum multi-hull ship structures.

In advanced marine industry, the reduction in weight of hull structures for a very large object ship plays an important role as the economic efficiency is the most significant aspect. In this paper, we investigate the ultimate strength of structural ship stiffened-plates designed by International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) Common Structural Rules (CSR) methods of collapse state, by applying for ANSYS nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA). Specifically, the ultimate limit assessment methods for the outer bottom of ship structures, which have drawn a significant attention from industrial marine and offshore structures, are proposed to reduce the weight of ship structures. To solve this, we study the structures of a hypothetical Very Large Ore Carrier (VLOC) designed by pre-CSR and CSR methods. In particular, the stiffened-plates under the biaxial compression and lateral pressure loads with simply supported or/and clamped boundary condition(s), the results ultimate limit state assessment performance of Nonlinear FEA methods are shown and compared to various states.

The subject of the article is a comparison of the precast reinforced concrete pillars with different types of reinforcement. These are the pillars simulating parts of walls that can, for example, form in the precast wall of residential buildings after an opening has been carved. The pillars are variously reinforced: from the simple reinforcement with wire mesh to the reinforcement with standard reinforcement bars. Behavior of the pillars, that have been subjected to two types of experiments in the past, is verified by software for non-linear analysis for concrete structures. Depending on the types of loading, the ultimate limit state, deformation and stress state of the individual pillars are studied.
