4 Submission of Results

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.
