A New Sandwich Design Concept for Ships P?l G. Bergan Det Norske Veritas, H?vik, Norway and NTNU, Trondheim, Norway Topics of the Lecture Some examples of challenges in ship modelling and simulation Some general problems Container ship Liquid natural gas ship A new concept for building ships using steel and light-weight concrete design Some conclusions Characteristics of Ship Structures “Many pieces of steel welded together”, e.g. more than 100 000 in a large ship Many types of structural elements: Outer skins, internal skins Bulkheads Integrated ballast tanks Girders, frames, stringers Stiffeners, brackets, lug-plates, cut-outs Cutouts, surface grinding and polishing Numerous stress concentrations Corrosion serious problem Particular Considerations for Modeling and Analysis Enormous scale effects from overall ship beam (e.g. more than 400 meters long) to stress concentrations around weld or crack Good modeling of ship beam requires inclusion of a significant number of secondary and tertiary structural elements Fatigue and fracture analysis requires and detailed and accurate analysis of stress concentrations and cracks Dynamic response analysis integrated with hydrodynamic simulation Ultimate strength analysis by way of buckling and/or nonlinear simulation Typical Analysis Steps for Ship Analysis Container ship Hydrodynamic Model Hydrodynamic Load Analysis Ultimate load state (ULS) checks Hot spot stress analysis at hatch corner Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Ship Stepwise Construction of Global Model Wave Motion and Pressures Hot Spots Structural Problems: Bulk Carrier Steel – Light-weight Concrete Sandwich Cellular Sandwich Using Experience from Other Applications Steel-concrete sandwich elements have been used successfully for bridge structures, which are also exposed to large dynamic loads and demanding environmental conditions Composite sandwich structural elements are used in air plane wing structures, wind turbine wings, trains, naval ships, and other severe
