4.1 Detailed report
4.1.1 A detailed report of the structural analysis is to be submitted
by the designer/builder to demonstrate compliance with the specified structural design
criteria. This report is to include the following information:
- a) List of plans used including dates and versions.
- b) Detailed description of structural modelling including all modelling
assumptions and any deviations in geometry and arrangement of structure compared
with plans.
- c) Plots to demonstrate correct structural modelling and assigned properties.
- d) Details of material properties, plate thickness, beam properties used in the
model.
- e) Details of boundary conditions.
- f) Details of all loading conditions reviewed with calculated hull girder shear
force, bending moment and torsional moment distributions.
- g) Details of applied loads and confirmation that individual and total applied
loads are correct.
- h) Plots and results that demonstrate the correct behaviour of the structural
model under the applied loads.
- i) Summaries and plots of global and local deflections.
- j) Summaries and sufficient plots of stresses to demonstrate that the design
criteria are not exceeded in any member.
- k) Plate and stiffened panel buckling analysis and results.
- l) Tabulated results showing compliance, or otherwise, with the design
criteria.
- m) Proposed amendments to structure where necessary, including revised
assessment of stresses, buckling and fatigue properties showing compliance with
design criteria.
- n) Reference of the finite element computer program, including its version and
date.
