Effect of the Torsion Box Dimensions on Local Stress Distribution and Fatigue Strength Assessment of a Container Ship
The aim of this paper is to estimate the influence of the dimensions of the torsion box (height and width), of a 2400 TEU feeder-class container ship, on local stress distribution and assessment of local fatigue strength by using a numerical approach based on the fatigue limit-state and ultimate lim...

| description | The aim of this paper is to estimate the influence of the dimensions of the torsion box (height and width), of a 2400 TEU feeder-class container ship, on local stress distribution and assessment of local fatigue strength by using a numerical approach based on the fatigue limit-state and ultimate limit-state in the midship region. In terms of the fatigue limit-state, the effect of the dimensions of the torsion box is obtained by geometrical modifications, in the connection between the side shell longitudinal stiffeners with the transverse web frame for nine structural details, referring to different arrangements of strengthening elements (brackets and flat bars). The process of comparing the different elements determines the most effective combination. This structural influence on the local stress distribution is assessed, along the longitudinal plates between ordinary stiffeners bounding the perimeter of the torsion box, by calculating the hull girder stresses, local buckling stresses and shear stress distribution induced by vertical and horizontal shear forces, Saint Venant and warping torques, and finally the shear stresses induced by a warping moment. Scantling criteria are obtained allowing for a better design of this very important region in container ships. |
