What is stress and

strain?
STRESS Is defined as the load put on a piece of
material or a structure
STRAIN Is defined as the permanent deformity
or weakness caused by excessive stress

There are 3 main types of stress:

Tensile / Tensioning
Compressive / Compression
Shear

Tensioning
tendency to pull the material apart

Compression
tendency to crush the
material or to buckle

Shear is the effect of two forces acting

in opposite directions and along
parallel lines.

Shear

Mechanical Properties of Metals

Elasticity

The case with which a metal may

be bent or molded into a given
shape.

Brittleness - The opposite of plasticity, lack or

elasticity

Malleability - The property possessed by a

metal of becoming permanently

flattened or stretched.

Hardness - The property of a metal

to resist wear and abrasion.
Fatigue

Ductility

A metal subjected to
continually varying loads may
eventually suffer from fatigue.
- Ability to be drawn out
lengthwise, the amount of the
extension measures the ductility.

Brittle Fracture
Low temperatures at or near freezing
points,

Load on material relatively light,

Defects or faults in a weld
Internal stresses within material ie.
welding may initiate a fracture.

The ship at sea or lying in still water is

constantly being subjected to a wide
variety of stresses and strains, which
result from the action of forces from
outside and within the ship.
These forces may initially be classified into:

STATIC FORCES
DYNAMIC FORCES

STATIC FORCES
These are due to
Internal forces resulting from structural weight,
cargo and machinery weight.
External static forces including the hydrostatic
pressure of the water on the hull.

Static force

Vessel at rest

DYNAMIC FORCES
They result from
The ships motion at sea.
The action of wind and waves.
The effects of operating machinery.

Dynamic Forces

A ship is free to move

about six degrees of
freedom.
Three linear and
three rotational.
Various forces acting
on ship are constantly
varying in degree and
frequency.
This movement of the
ship introduces
dynamic forces which
result in stresses on
the ships structure.

 Heave is the motion of the ship when the ship

have being up by a wave or sea.
Sway is the swing of a mast or bow of a ship from
side to side as the vessel progresses in a heavy
sea.
Surge is the movement forward as the bow of a
ship rises and dips when it encounter waves
which are strong enough to life it. The ship surge
up the side of a wave, often shipping water as it
passes through the crest, then dips down the
other side of the wave.

 Pitch is the motion of a ship in rising the

crest of a wave then descending into the
following trough.
Roll is the motion of a ship from side to
side as she moves through the water.
Yaw is where the bow of a ship falls away
or sways erratically from side to side as
the vessel moves through the water.

Forces produce stresses in the ships

structure which may be divided into two
categories:

Global stress affects the whole ship

Local stress- affects a particular part of a
ship

HOGGING
Hogging is when the
ship bends upwards
longitudinally. This
occurs when there is
more weight
concentrated at the
ends due to uneven
cargo distribution or
when the vessel rides a
wave crest in its
middle, causing
excessive buoyancy.

SAGGING
Sagging is the reverse of
hogging when the ship
bends longitudinally in the
downwards direction. This
occurs when there is more
weight concentrated in the
mid length of the vessel
due to uneven cargo
distribution or when the
vessel rides a wave trough
in its middle causing
excessive buoyancy at the
ends.

RACKING
When a ship is rolling,
the accelerations on
the ships structure
are liable to cause
distortion in the
transverse section.
Greatest effect is
under light ship
condition.

TORSION
A ship traversing a
wave train at angle
will be subject to
righting moments of
opposite directions
at its ends.
The hull is subject to
a twisting moment
and the structure is
in torsion.

STRESSES DUE TO
WATER PRESSURE
Water pressure
acts
perpendicular to
the surface and
increases with
depth

STRESSES DUE TO
DRY-DOCKING
Tends to set the keel
upwards.
Due to the up-thrust
of the keel blocks.
Tendency for the
ships sides to bulge
outwards.
Bilges tend to sag.

PANTING
This is a stress,
which occurs at the
ends of a vessel
due to variations in
water pressure on
the shell plating as
the vessel pitches
in a seaway. The
effect is
accentuated at the
bow when making
headway
DMS-DO

Stresses caused by localized loading

Localized heavy
loads may give rise
to localized
distortion of the
transverse section.
Such local loads
may be the
machinery (Main
engine) in the
engine room or the
loading of
concentrated ore in
the holds.

Pounding due to heavy pitching as the whole ship is lifted

in a seaway may be subject the forepart to severe impact
from the sea. It gives greatest effect when in light
condition. About 30% from forward strengthened.

Pounding
Effect: 0.25L of the bow/stern

Deck opening creates

areas of high local
stress due to lack of
continuity of Structure

a great day
everyone!
