1. Introduction
1.1 Ship structure
A ship structure usually consists of a
network of plates and supporting
structure.
Frame
A transverse member running continuously from
the keel to the deck. Resists transverse loads (ie waves hitting the side of the ship)
Floor
Deep frames running from the keel to the turn of
the bilge. Frames may be attached to floors - the
frame would be that part above the turn of the
bilge.
Longitudinal
Girders which run parallel to the keel along the
bottom of the ship. Longitudinals intersect floors
at right angles, and provide longitudinal
strength.
Stringers
Girders running along the sides of the ship.
Typically smaller than longitudinals, they also
provide longitudinal strength.
Deck Beams
Transverse framing
The transverse elements such as frames
and hull plating have a primary role to
combat the hydrostatic load.
