Overview

Introduction, ship strength in general. Forces on the ship. Ship strength calculation . Longitudinal and transverse ship strength, the ship in calm water, surge bending, stresses due to bending, deviations from the simple bending theory. Shear stresses due to bending. Other forms of fatigue. Primary, secondary and tertiary stresses. Endurance criteria (leakage, collapse, fatigue, bending). Transverse strength of the ship. Adjoint analysis of structures. Torsion, Fatigue.
