STOCHASTIC MODELING OF MAXIMUM STILL-WATER LOAD EFFECTS IN SHIP STRUCTURES

A stochastic model of an alternating renewal pulse process is proposed to describe the time dependence of still-water load effects in ship structures, extending previous studies that dealt only with random variables. The model proposed is applied to different ship types, and the probability of occurrence of annual maxima is also determined in those cases. The results of a brief statistical analysis of load duration are included, as well, as a basis for describing the time dependence of the process. Applications of this model to the development of code requirements are also described.
