About this document

Ship Structural Loads Overview by Juan Silva is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document provides notes for an undergraduate ship structures course. It includes an overview of ship components and structural design processes. Loads on ships include stillwater bending, wave bending, and impact loads. Primary structure is the hull girder which experiences global bending loads. Methods of structural analysis discussed include calculating section properties, finite element analysis, and the stiffness matrix method. Failure modes addressed are bending, buckling, and plate behavior under
