This paper presents estimation of deterministic damage extents and locations due to collision and grounding which are defined by ABS guideline and DNV ship rules. It is noted that the overall extents of damages from DNV are larger than those from ABS. Nonlinear FEAs are carried out to predict residual longitudinal strength of hull girder with asymmetric severe damages. The accuracy of the applied FEA procedure is proved by comparing FEA result with test result of a 1/3-scaled frigate. The investigated vessels are a VLCC and a large-sized bulker for which evenly distributed heeling angles from 0°(sagging) to 180°(hogging) by 30°due to damage-induced flooding are taken into account. The reduction ratios of the ultimate residual strength for the damaged cases to those for the intact sagging case are shown. It is proved that the grounding damage case under DNV assumption reveals most critical the residual strength. The design formulas are presented to assure minimum residual ultimate moment after damage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
