Ship Hull Construction Analysis to the Ultimate Strength Considering Damages

Abstract

Damage to ship construction causes its structure to lose its ultimate strength. The damage could result from a collision or grounding. The ship's structural integrity following a collision or grounding must be evaluated. This is done to satisfy the ship's structural design requirements. The objective of the present study is to analyze the effect of damage implemented on single and double hull construction to the ultimate strength of ship structure. The ultimate strength of a ship's hull girder following damage from a collision or grounding was ascertained a numerical approach is used in this study. The cross-section sample of the ship is taken in this study namely single and double hull of bulk carrier. The modeling of damage to the ship's bottom and side shell sections from collisions and groundings are taken into account to know the influence of damage when it is applied to single and double hull.
