Structural Analysis of Midship Section of General Cargo Ship
1. INTRODUCTION:
This report presents the details of Static Strength Analysis done to the
Midship Section of a General Cargo Carrier using ABAQUS. The design of Midship
Section is considered according to the ABS Rules which are shown in the Appendix.
Static Strength analysis is performed to ensure the stress levels in the structure are within
allowable limits as per ABS Rules and AISC 9th Edition.
Vessel Specifications:
The vessel which is considered is General Cargo Carrier with the following dimensions:

2. METHODOLOGY:
The material yield stresses and the allowable stresses are described in
Section 3. It will be checked for maximum Von Misses stresses to ensure it’s less than
Fy/1.45, where 1.45 is the Safety Factor. The maximum unity ratio for the plate and
support beams should not exceed 1.0. The structural analysis and design reported in this
document comply with the ABS Rules for Steel Vessels (2006) and AISC-ASD
(9thedition). Units used are Pressures in Mpa (Mega Pascal) and dimensions in mm for
ABAQUS model.

3. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS:
The design criteria and load conditions are described in the following sub-sections.
The Structure has been designed in accordance with the applicable design
criteria of the ABS Rules for Steel Vessels and the AISC-ASD (9th Edition).
When considering how our model should be loaded, the first step is to
consult the classification society rules. They all have very good sections dedicated to
calculating the loads expected for various locations on the ship. Following are the various
loads considered according to the ABS Steel Rules.
Once we have decided on which values to use, applying them to the model
is quite straightforward. Simply select the member to be loaded, assign the load value and
select the orientation of the load.
3.3 Materials:

Structural Analysis of Midship Section of General Cargo Ship
Since thin structures can be modeled efficiently as shells, we'll use shell
elements (S4) to build the finite-element model. Shell elements can support membrane
and bending loads consistent with classical shell theory. Shell elements are appropriate
when the thickness of the structure is small compared to the other dimensions.

4. STRENGTH ANALYSIS:
To pass the strength Check, unity ratio at the critical location must be less
than or equal to 1.0.
Unity Ratio = (Von misses Stress * 1.45) / Fy
Where Yield Strenth, Fy = 355 N/mm2

Though the Structure passes the Strength check, it deflects more which
is not feasible design. So, more local stiffening is to be done to reduce the deformation of
the structure.

6. APPENDIX
We examined ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessel 2007 to find
requirements that would apply to the bottom, side shell and deck plating, stiffeners design
for the vessel. We made the assumption that our designed plate will have thickness
greater than the minimum requirements of the specified ABS requirements below.
An additional requirement is a 15:1 (approximately) ratio for the stiffener length to
width/depth dimensions. This requirement was made based on the application of the
stiffened plate. In this problem we are considering the length to depth as 11
(approximately)
