STRESS CONCENTRATIONS IN SHIP STRUCTURE

Using the finite-element method, the Author examines and discusses the stress concentrations that may occur at discontinuities in a hull structure owing to internal loads such as bending moments and shear forces. Cracking due to stress concentrations at various locations (e.g., at hatch corners, various bracket-toes, bulkheads, snaped ends of stiffeners, girder web plates, and bilge areas of double bottoms), and how such stress concentrations should be dealt with in structural design, are considered in some detail.
