Localized Fatigue Failure Analysis of Aluminium Crewboats due to Propeller Pulse Loads: A Case Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

Marine grade alloys are extensively being used in high speed vessels such as patrol crafts, ferries and crew boats, where a reduction of the structural weight is critical to achieve higher speeds [1]. The use of aluminium has forced marine industry engineers to develop methods to design against fatigue failure. This has largely been addressed by the development of design standards, analysis techniques and the improvement of quality control and construction methods [2]. Nevertheless, even with these advancements there is a continued need for the development and improvement of aluminium analysis methods and guidelines [3].
