3 Hull Girder Stress

3.1 Stress due to hull girder wave bending moments

3.1.1 The hull girder hot spot stress, in N/mm2, for load cases i1 and i2 of loading condition (j) is obtained from the following formula:

where:

Mwv-LC, ik : Vertical wave bending moment, in kNm, of the considered dynamic load case, as defined in Ch 4, Sec 4, at the hull girder load calculation point of the considered longitudinal position for the loading condition (j) for ik being equal to i1 and i2.

Mwh-LC, ik : Horizontal wave bending moment, in kNm, of the considered dynamic load case, as defined in Ch 4, Sec 4, at the hull girder load calculation point of the considered longitudinal position for the loading condition (j) for ik being equal to i1 and i2.

3.2 Stress due to still water hull girder bending moment

3.2.1

The hull girder hot spot stress due to still water bending moment, in N/mm2, in loading condition (j) is obtained from the following formula:

where:

Msw : Permissible still water vertical bending moment, in kNm, as defined in Ch 4, Sec 4 at the hull girder load calculation point of the considered longitudinal position.

β(j) : Fraction of permissible still water vertical bending moment, as defined in Table 1.
