STRESS CONCENTRATIONS FOR INTERRUPTED BILGE KEELS

In recent years damages occurred on several ships caused by stress concentrations due to interrupted bilge keels. The idea behind this concept is on the one hand to improve their roll damping effect and on the other to make the bilge keel ineffective regarding the ship's longitudinal bending. The latter is, however, in reality not practicably possible, since the strains caused in the hull by longitudinal bending will be transmitted via the shell plating into the bilge keel, even when the bilge keel is interrupted. To study the situation of this structural detail a series of simple computations was performed for a variety of different bilge keel configurations. <CMO>.
