POST BUCKLING BEHAVIOUR OF STRUCTURAL MEMBERS IN SHIPS

SUL CARICO DI COLASSO DI ELEMENTI STRUTTURALI NAVALI

Liquid and dry bulk carriers have shown a rapid increase in size in recent years. This has increased the problem of ultimate strength calculation for the ships' main framing. Heart of the problem is the effective width of the web plate of members locally buckled because of instability or working deformations and the structural capability which might be reduced by wear. In the future, during Special Surveys, even rough calculations in the field, if carried out under a prudent system, might prevent unnecessary expense for renewals or straightenings. This paper attempts to put together the known numerical methods that could assist a Classification Societies Surveyor make a reasonably safe decision without overburdening an owner with unnecessary repairs.
