Development of the Method for Calculation of PLates to Ensure Optimization of Hull Thickness

摘要

The problem of plates and shells under the effect of local loading was treated. In this paper, a direct solution for a round plate is proposed, which greatly raises its accuracy. The obtained results are generalized for shells of revolution. The result will be used in barge model calculations striving to increase accuracy of the calculations. It should help to decrease weight of the barge which is very important in order to increase load capacity of the barge. In order to solve equation in better tolerance, improved method of grids will be used. The proposed method will totally change current methods of calculation for the hull thickness due to its accuracy.
