Load capacity statement of structures

Calculation of critical buckling forces and comparison of results with given loading conditions.

Buckling Analyses

Structures which are exposed to large compressive loading can be analysed in perspective of critical buckling force and stress values. Platings and pillars that have large unstiffened length may expose to these buckling problems and need to be investigated. The critical buckling forces are calculated and the results are compared with the given loading conditions.

As examples to this kind of analyses following investigations on ship structures can be given,

• Midship deck and bottom structure under vertical static and wave bending moment
• Longitudinal and transverse bulkheads that can be exposed to compressive loads
• Ship's main structural elements under compressive stresses
