Fatigue Strength Assessment Analysis of Large Container Ship

Abstract:

Fatigue assessments of container ship structures can be processed using various direct calculation approaches or various approaches of classification societies [1,2]. In this investigation, the fatigue strength assessment to the key positions of a 9200TEU container ship has been performed ,subjected to the rules of BV about fatigue strength specification of large container ships, based on design wave method and Miner fatigue cumulative damage theory analysis method. Wave loads have been computed using linear wave load calculation method based on three-dimensional potential flow theory. And the fatigue strength assessment of the typical hot spot structures has also been conducted based on a series of critical single design wave.
