Abstract:
This thesis investigates the effect of stress distribution on longitudinal framing
in cargo ship hull section. The cargo ship is the ship that carries goods,
material and many more from one port to another. During the voyage, the
ship's structure will encounter various magnitude of different types of loads.
One of them comes from the containers itself. The finite element analysis
approach is used to analyze the strength of the longitudinal frame of the ship.
The main objective of the research is to develop the longitudinal framing of
hull section model based on the classification rules. Then, analyze the stress
distribution of the framing system by using FEA approach. The result of the
analysis will be compared with actual result and the discussion have been
made to come out the recommendation that needs to be considered to
ensure the strength of the cargo ship. From the analysis, the stress
distribution longitudinal frame has exceeded the actual stress result.
Therefore, the cargo ship needs to stiffen the framing system by increasing
their thickness or install more structures that can help the strength of the hull
such as transverse framing system.
