基于裂纹扩展理论的船体结构疲劳评估

疲劳破坏是船舶结构的主要破坏形式之一。为了保证船舶结构有足够的疲劳强度,各国船级社、船厂等均建立了船舶结构疲劳强度校核规范作为船舶疲劳评估的指导性文件,尽管这些规范均是建立在S-N曲线方法基础上的,但由于S-N曲线方法存在自身无法克服的缺陷(如忽略材料的初始缺陷等),对同一节点进行计算得到的疲劳寿命大相径庭。该文作者在基于裂纹扩展理论的基础之上,给出了一套详细的船体结构疲劳评估方法,并应用此方法对大型船舶结构典型节点的疲劳寿命进行评估,以期能为完善船舶结构疲劳寿命的评估提供参考。

Fatigue strength assessment of ship structures based on the crack propagation theory

Fatigue damage is one of main forms of ship structures destroyed. Every classification society and shipyard take fatigue assessment rules of ship structures as an instruction to assure fatigue strength of ship structures. Although these rules are based on the method of S-N curve, different fatigue lives of the same node are obtained with the help of different rules, because the disadvantages of S-N curve could not be avoided, such as neglect of initial objection of material. In this paper, fatigue strength assessment methods of ship structures are studied based on the facture propagation theory, and a detailed fatigue assessment method of ship structures is proposed, which is supposed to reference to predict fatigue life and preparation to perfect fatigue strength assessment of ship structures.
