Hull structural design considers all customer requirements in respect of deadweight, external loads and line of sight.
Metal capacity, processability and loads acting on the structures
When a vessel sails at sea, its hull is exposed to a variety of external loads which cause deformations and stresses in its structures. Therefore, when designing a new ship, it is necessary to know sufficiently both the magnitude and location of these stresses in individual assemblies and structures. However, knowledge of the behaviour of individual structures under the most severe operating conditions is of great importance in the design of reliable structures. First of all, it is necessary to create new structural units which have not been used in previously built ships and have not been tested under severe operating conditions. The necessity of creation of such designs is caused by rapid change of requirements of the world economy to new ships, changes of technologies of cargoes delivery and shipbuilding production.
This is aided by the rapid development of reliable methods for determining the actual condition of structures under the influence of external loads in rough seas. The ship hull is a much more complex complex complex structure than most of the engineering structures used by man. Despite remarkable advances in technology and science, it is not always possible to obtain perfectly reliable data on external loads and their induced stresses and possible deformations during design.
Therefore, design must be accompanied by experience of operating ships in the harshest ocean conditions, especially in the areas of the North Pacific seas which are taken as a benchmark for extreme external loads and where very low temperatures are experienced. And sailing ships is accompanied by dangerous frostbite. In addition, the winter months are characterised by more severe storm conditions.
