Phase B Global Structure
Analysis

Bottom Girder Assessment
ABS requires local analyses of
transverse frames, horizontal stringers, and bottom girders.
The
local structural models include all openings for evaluation of opening
stress. In addition these
models are used for design of stiffeners, panel breakers and other local
details |
|
Viking Systems uses SafeHull to
evaluate the structure for yielding and buckling of panels as well as
overall buckling of decks, tanktops, bulkheads, and bottom shell.
Horizontal Stringer
Assessment

Stringer
deformation due to dynamic loading. |
|
Transverse Frame Assessment
Viking Systems uses SafeHull 2-D
frame analysis to verify the Phase A rule-based scantlings.
A
detailed model is used to adequately assess the strength and fatigue
characteristics throughout the transverse frame.
In addition these models are used for design of stiffeners, panel
breakers, and openings. |
