Abstract:
A study on the effect of load distribution on transverse framing system in cargo
ship was done. Basically, a cargo ship’s hull is made up of bent plates that are
not stiffened. The simple way to stiffen a cargo ship by adding transverse
framing. The aim of this project is to develop a model of transverse framing
system according to Germanisher Lloyd rule and analyzed the effect of load
distribution due to the weight of a container. The model was analyzed by the
various condition of the load. The analysis of model was using finite element
analysis method. Finite element analysis is a numerical technique for solving
engineering issues with complex loadings, geometries and material properties.
The simulation results of equivalent (von-Mises) stress and total deformation
will be compared with the Germanisher Lloyd rule. The result of total
deformation and equivalent (von-Mises) stress must not exceed the value
stated by Germanischer Lloyd rule. If the value of stress exceeds, it is
considered a failure. The research will consist of the research background, the
objectives, problem statement, research scope, literature review,
methodology, results and discussion and the conclusion.
