COLLAPSE ANALYSIS OF SHIP HULL GIRDER IN WAVES USING IDEALIZED STRUCTURAL UNIT METHOD

摘要

Recent progress in the development and application of the ISUM plate element is highlighted with a particular focus on its application to the progressive collapse analysis of a ship hull structure. The plate element is characterized by idealized shape functions for defection based on buckling collapse mode and a simple procedure for element formulation similar to that for standard displacement-based finite elements. The formulation of the plate element under in-plane loads is presented, and then the plate element and the plate-stiffener combination model are applied to the progressive collapse analysis of a hull-girder cross section and double bottom structure. The development of a total system for motion/collapse analysis of a whole ship in waves is also presented. The effectiveness of these ISUM models is demonstrated.
