Pitting corrosion is typical corrosion observed on coated hold frames of bulk carriers which exclusively carry coal and iron ore. In order to secure the safety of these types of bulk carriers, it is important to understand the effect of pitting corrosion on local strength of hold frames.
In order to investigate this effect, a series of 4- and 3-point bend tests on structural models which consist of web, shell and face plates has been carried out. Artificial pitting was created on the web plate to simulate pitting. In the 4-point bend tests, two equal concentrated loads have been applied vertically at the one-third points of simply supported models so that compression load due to bending would act on the face plate. In this testing condition, lateral-distortional buckling occurred before reaching the ultimate strength and local buckling of the face plate was observed after reaching the ultimate strength. The effect of web plate pitting on the lateral-distortional buckling strength was found to be small but the ultimate strength decreases with increase in the degree of pitting intensity. In the 3-point bend tests, concentrated load has been applied vertically at the center of simply supported models so that compression load due to bending would act on the face plate. In this testing condition, local face buckling occurred just after reaching the ultimate strength. The ultimate strength is found to be decreasing with increase in the degree of pitting intensity.
A series of non-linear FE analyses has been performed to simulate the deformation behavior observed in the tests. It has been revealed that even in the case of randomly distributed pitting corrosion the ultimate strength of the structural models was almost the same as that of the structural models with uniform corrosion corresponding to the average thickness loss. 相似文献
This article describes an estimation method for the hull girder response of a ship due to springing. The linear and nonlinear
springing effects on the hull girder are evaluated. Previous studies on the springing response focused mainly on the symmetric
response, or vertical response. In this article, however, the springing analysis is extended to asymmetric responses, or horizontal
and torsional responses. The Timoshenko beam model was used to calculate the hull girder response and the quadratic strip
method was employed to calculate hydrodynamic forces and moments on the hull. To remove irregular frequencies, a rigid lid
was adopted on the hull free surface level and hydrodynamic coefficients were interpolated for asymptotic values. Applications
to two ships for the symmetric and asymmetric responses were carried out and the effect of springing responses is also discussed. 相似文献
