Gaspar, B., Teixeira, A.P. e Guedes Soares, C. (2016), “Effect of the nonlinear vertical wave-induced bending moments on the ship hull girder reliability”, Ocean Engineering, Vol. 119, pp. 193-207

In the present paper the effect of the nonlinear vertical wave-induced bending moments on the ship hull girder reliability is evaluated. A chemical tanker for which the nonlinearity of the vertical wave-induced bending moments was found to be significant is adopted as case study. The nonlinear effects on the vertical wave-induced bending moments of the chemical tanker carrier are accounted for in the reliability assessment problem through model correction factors, which are estimated using direct calculation methods based on linear and nonlinear strip theory formulations and the most likely response wave method. It is verified that the design formulation presently used to define the hull girder vertical wave-induced bending moments underestimates the magnitude of the nonlinear effects. The more accurate predictions provided by the direct calculations methods show that the actual hull girder reliability in sagging is significantly smaller. Possible modified design solutions for the midship cross-section of the chemical tanker carrier are evaluated in order to demonstrate the impact of the increase of the nonlinear vertical wave-induced bending moment in sagging in terms of structural design criteria.
