Global and local strangth assessment, under equivalent quasi-static head wave loads, based on three cargo hold 3D-FEM model, of an 1100 TEU container ship

Abstract

In this paper is presented the global-local strength numerical analysis for an 1100 TEU container ship. The numerical analysis is carried on 3D-CAD/FEM model using SolidWorks Cosmos/M software. The model has three cargos holds and is analysed for two loading cases: full and intermediary (no containers on deck). The considered loads are: own-weight, containers weight, still water and equivalent quasi-static head wave loads, according to the Germanischer Lloyd Rules. The numerical analysis emphasizes the hot spot stresses on the three cargos holds model, making possible to obtain the hot spot factors used for the correlation between 1D-3D structure modelling.
