Global Structure Strength Analysis of SWATH Based on Direct Calculate Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The stress concentration of SWATH’s cross-deck structure is serious and the problem of its structure strength appears particularly important. In this paper, A 3-D global element model of SWATH was built, the design Loads, load cases and boundary conditions were studied. on the base of that, the structure response analysis was completed. The result show that the global ship’s stress is small in all load cases of head seas and oblique seas, and the bulkheads have serious stress concentration phenomenon in beam seas.The result can offer the reference for SWATH’s design and development.
