On the Assessment of Extreme Wave-Induced Bending Moment of a Ship by FORM and Reduced Order Method Based on Coupled CFD and FEA

In this paper, an extreme value problem on the wave-induced vertical bending moment (WVBM) of a ship is addressed. The First Order Reliability Method (FORM) is adopted to predict the extreme value distribution of the WVBM under given short-term sea states. The one-way coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is employed to obtain numerical solutions of the WVBM. To predict the extreme value distribution based on the coupled CFD-FEA, the Reduced Order Method (ROM) is further introduced as a surrogate model for the CFD-FEA. By combining the ROM and FORM, the extreme value prediction equivalent to the coupled CFD-FEA can be estimated in a robust but inexpensive manner. The present ROM is composed of the transfer function (TF) of the WVBM and a simple correction for the nonlinearity. The accuracy of the ROM is validated by comparing with the coupled CFD-FEA results. A series of numerical demonstrations on the extreme value distribution of the WVBM using the ROM and FORM under moderate and severe sea conditions is given.
