Numerical investigation of the hull girder ultimate strength under realistic cyclic loading derived from long-term hydroelastic analysis

George Jagite et al.

Summary: Traditionally, the hull girder ultimate strength is determined by subjecting the structure to monotonic increasing loads. However, doubts have been cast on the probability that alternating loads may reduce the hull girder ultimate strength. This research aims to analyze the influence of cyclic loads over the structural capacity and shows that for the considered containership, the cyclic loading has a negligible effect on the ultimate strength.

Post-ultimate strength behaviour and collapse severity of ship hull girder under extreme wave load by an analytical method

Weijun Xu et al.

Summary: When the external load exceeds the ultimate strength of the hull girder, the load-carrying capacity is not completely lost due to the supporting and constraint between structure members. The collapse severity of the hull girder under extreme wave load is influenced by various factors, which are analyzed in this paper using an analytic approach. The equations of motion of the hull girder are derived to predict the final severity of collapse. The study also investigates the influence of capacity drop on the severity from an energy point of view. The findings provide important insights for the safety design of ship hull girders.

The influence of residual stress on the ultimate strength of longitudinally compressed stiffened panels

Shen Li et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of welding-induced residual stress on the strength of stiffened panels and finds that residual stress significantly reduces the ultimate compressive strength of the panels. The study concludes that residual stress in the plate causes a reduction in strength regardless of failure modes, while residual stress in the stiffener web dominates the strength reduction in cases of collapse due to beam-column buckling. The modified edge function approach is shown to be conservative compared to numerical results and is applicable only to stocky panels.
