Collapse behaviour of a push-barge

Modern inland vessels are open-top, double-hull ships with unusually large length-to-beam and length-to-height ratios, shallow draught and an extremely long cargo hold. Therefore, they have low bending and torsional rigidity. Moreover, the state of the ship structure changes appreciably in course of service due to minor collisions, groundings in shallow water, corrosion and fatigue. Such imperfections reduce the stability and strength of the structure. The safety against collapse decreases. This paper shows the results of a systematic investigation of a typical push-barge structure using the finite-element-method.

Structural reliability of two bulk carrier designs

The paper aims at quantifying the changes in notional reliability levels that result from redesigning a traditional single-hull bulk carrier to become a double-hull structure. The probability of failure is calculated using a first-order reliability method. The evaluation of the wave-induced load effects that occur during long-term operation of the ship in the seaway is carried out. The still water loads are defined on the basis of a statistical analysis that accounts for the ship type. The ultimate collapse bending moment of the midship cross section is used as the basis for the reliability formulation. It is shown that by introducing the double-hull in the bulk carriers their level of structural safety can be increased up to values typical of tankers. Additionally, the time-dependent degrading effect of corrosion on the ultimate moment is also taken into account in the reliability assessment of bulk carriers.

Effect of non-symmetrical corrosion imperfection on the collapse pressure of subsea pipelines

The effects of non-symmetrical corrosion defects (about the major or minor axis of the ellipse) on the collapse modes and collapse pressures of subsea pipelines are studied using the Finite Element (FE) method. The corrosion defects are represented by a groove of a given length, width, and depth which is created by the “element death” technology. Parametric studies are conducted and the influences of corrosion location angle, length, width, and depth on the collapse pressure are discussed. Several significant and interesting results are achieved: (1) The collapse modes are mainly affected by the corrosion location angle, width, and depth; (2) The collapse pressure of a pipe may increase as the corrosion length, width, or depth increases when the corrosion location angle is small; (3) The longer the corrosion length, the larger the effect of corrosion location angle on the collapse pressure; (4) For collapses controlled by corrosion defect (0.3≤h/t ≤ 0.7), the relationship between the collapse pressure and corrosion location angle follows a simple cosine function. For collapses controlled by the ovality (h/t < 0.3), the relationship can be expressed by the combination of straight-line and cosine function.

腐蚀对双壳超大型原油运输船船体的影响研究（英文）

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of corrosion wastage on the ship hull of a double hull very large crude oil carrier. To calculate the ultimate bending moment capacity, along with the neutral axis position at the limit state, section modulus, and moment of inertia, the incremental-iterative method is employed. This paper also considered the residual strength checking criteria of ship hull and the ultimate stress behaviors of the representative structural elements. Then, Paik's probabilistic corrosion, which employs two levels of corrosion rate and three different assumptions of coating life time, is applied to assess the corrosion effects. The calculation results obtained through relevant analyses are also presented.     

Analysis of the accident of the MVNakhodka. Part 1. Estimation of wave loads

MVNakhodka collapsed and broke in two on January 2, 1997 in the Sea of Japan, giving rise to a serious and disastrous oil spill on the coastline of Japan. During the inquiry into the cause of the accident, one of the main tasks of the inquiry committee was to identify the external loads which made the ship structure collapse. Among the several possible scenarios for the accident, after careful examination, the wave loads in the heavy weather at the time of the accident were taken to be the most plausible cause. The results of that research are described in two papers, and the present paper deals with the way in which wave loads on theNakhodka at the moment of the accident were estimated. We first describe the details of the accident such as the location, the sea condition, the loading condition, and the ship's heading speed. Then the static loads resulting from the distribution of the cargo weight and the buoyancy are given to show that the static bending moment at the time of the accident caused extreme sagging. Next the wave loads in the irregular waves, calculated by the nonlinear time domain simulation program SRSLAM, are presented. It is shown that the bending moment in the waves reaches 1 087 800 KN^*m at maximum SS 6.9, which is where the hull girder collapse took place. It was concluded that the ship broke in two because the bending moment exceeded the hull girder strength which had been reduced due to corrosion, taking into account conclusions derived from the research dealing with the structural strength aspect. We also discuss the stochastic significance of the estimated value and nonlinear nature of the peak distribution, in addition to the effects of the ship speed and wave heading on the wave load estimation. This article is based on an article that appeared in Japanese in the Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, vol. 183 (1998).     

Reliability assessment of maintained ship hulls with correlated corroded elements

This paper reviews the factors that affect the corrosion rate of the ship hull girder. It is shown that corrosion rates vary as a function of the location of the element in the structure, of the ocean area and type of ballast tank and steel. However, the corrosion rate in elements that are subjected to similar conditions is highly correlated.

A time-variant formulation is proposed including the correlation between the corrosion rates in neighbouring elements in modelling the degrading effect that corrosion has on the reliability of ship hulls. The effect of corrosion is represented as a time-dependent decrease of plate thickness that affects the midship section modulus. One repair policy was considered and the example results show the effect of plate replacement when its thickness reaches 75% of the original value. The results also illustrate how the limit value of the thickness in the repair criteria influences the reliability and the decision about repair actions. This is also shown for the effect of different corrosion rates, inspection intervals, and allowable stresses.

Experimental investigation of the strength and stability of submarine pressure hulls with and without artificial corrosion damage

A submarine may have to operate for a period of time with local corrosion damage in the pressure hull if a suitable repair method is unavailable or too expensive for implementation. This paper describes collapse tests on twenty ring-stiffened aluminium cylinders, which were conducted to study the effect of corrosion damage on hull strength and stability. Artificial hull thinning was found to reduce the collapse strength of experimental models through high local stresses in the corroded region, leading to early onset of yielding and inelastic buckling. Bending associated with the eccentricity due to one-sided thinning was found to further increase the local stresses in the hull. Overall collapse pressures were more severely affected by corrosion damage than interframe collapse pressures. The percentage reduction in overall collapse pressure, compared with intact experimental models, was found to be closely related to the percentage depth of thinning. The accuracy of conventional collapse pressure predictions for the experimental models was significantly better for intact than for corroded cylinders.

Collapase analysis of ship hulls

This paper presents an efficient finite element procedure for the collapse analysis of ship hulls under complicated loads. A set of finite elements, such as beam-column elements, stiffened plate elements, and shear panel elements are developed, directly accounting for the geometrical and material non-linearities and initial imperfections.

Elastic-plastic stiffness matrices for elements have been derived by combining elastic large displacement analysis theories with a plastic hinge model. The buckling and post-buckling behaviour of plates is included using an effective width concept. The procedure is effective, since few mode-points are necessary and numerical integration for evaluating stiffness matrices is avoided. Fracture mechanics criteria are introduced in order to account for tension tearing rupture and brittle failure of the material.

Practical applications to ultimate longitudinal strength analysis of ship hulls and tanker collision analysis are presented. The procedure can also be used for collapse analysis of offshore and onshore structures.
